Retrospective

Something our team did well is... (smile) 

Something that I think we need to improve for next time is... (sad)

  • List anything that we could have done better in this sprint (these comments can be anonymous)
  • As a team, so all of us, including myself, should not be afraid to ask questions that may help us to better understand the use case or the technology or the data. We should always do our best to help each other no matter what. At the end of the day we succeed or fail together (Kuffel, Gina (NIH/NCI) [C]).
  • If we can get more advanced notice for changed meeting times (more than 24 hour notice if possible and realistic) and more careful consideration for meeting overlaps, that would be helpful. (Stogsdill, Hannah (NIH/NCI) [C] )
  • Automated end to end testing for frontend bento-projects similar to protector end-to-end test for angular framework. (Rana, Ambar (NIH/NCI) [C] )

  • Need more communication across the teams
    We now started development team scrums 2 times in a week to sync up. (Sheth, Karan (NIH/NCI) [C] )

Something I learned about during this sprint is...(lightbulb)

Actions

  • Kuffel, Gina (NIH/NCI) [C] to create at task in order to bundle web fonts with our application.
  • Better catalog/documentation of system changes, ie. a DevOps log
  • Always reschedule standup meetings
  • Be sure to update test cases if and when requirements evolve
  • DevOps leads should sign off on new microservice designs
  • Create an external service to cache data from external APIs (Performance Caching)
  • Mukherjee, Amit (NIH/NCI) [C] to create a DevOps task to implement performance caching and polling/reporting of outages to Slack or email.
  • Demos will only be on QA or Dev (QA being the preferred environment) moving forward.
