Retrospective Results

AuthorCategoryCard Title
Philip MSuggestions for ImprovementAs far as possible, given the sudden flux concerning the importance of the COTC trial data, develop high-level sprint goals for a couple of sprints out? Will greatly help detailed sprint planning.
Matthew B
Suggestions for ImprovementTime box, clear scope, bit sized pieces
What WorkedYe is excited about semantics integration.
Matthew B
Suggestions for Improvementestimation of ticket duration and hence when it needs to be split into smaller tickets
What WorkedTeam energy erupted around new direction towards end of sprint.
Amit M
Matthew BSuggestions for Improvementput retrospective comments in without being nagged.Matthew BSuggestions for ImprovementCapture dependencies of ticketsMatthew B
What Didn't Work
Team members missing standups did not allow for good flow of information
Sudden change in direction was unexpected. Lack of the 'Big Demo' made it hard for some members in maintaining continuity

Philip M
What Didn't Work
Sprint 0 was way too long, and lacked the organization that you'd normally want to see. That situation should have been resolved with our new sprint cadence, associated ceremonies, etc.
Phil can't take anymore time off.  He blocked Mark from getting any work done.
Matthew BSuggestions for ImprovementData stack page as part of overall site, listing guiding principles, docker, turnkey instances, github references, built in semantics, etc. - Data Commons in a Box.
Matthew BSuggestions for ImprovementMake sure Matt is invited to all meetings, even if not expected to attend, and meeting leader should provide a 2-3 sentence summary at end of meeting.
Amit MSuggestions for ImprovementNeed a more clear vision moving forward for the team both short term and long term.
Matthew BSuggestions for ImprovementToolkit, Continuous data integration potentiated by native graph database engines
Amit MWhat WorkedTeam rallied around changed circumstances. Good collaborative engagement
Philip MWhat WorkedIn my opinion, our ability communicate via Slack has already contributed to the effectiveness of the team to a very significant degree, and it will only do so more as sprints get busier.Matthew BWhat Workedestablishing initial rules and meetings for sprints allowed us to organizePhilip MWhat WorkedHaving a second stand up meeting each week has been a big improvement in terms of discussing incremental progress.John FWhat WorkedGetting started and making progress and not waiting for everything to be in place before moving.John FWhat WorkedThe team is gelling and sharing thoughts and getting work done.Ye WWhat WorkedGreat team chemistry and dynamics
