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)
  • I'm still trying to fix the Redis issue and am wondering if this ever worked on any of the tiers. I initially misattributed this to the environment variables not being correctly set, but I guess it is something client-related in the node-redis library. Sorry if I wasted your time with investigating this Charles and Mike. (Miller, Eric (NIH/NCI) [C] ).
  • Our key processes are too dependent on "human action". As much as possible we should look to automate the steps in our workflow that can be easily automated. (Udosen, Toyo (NIH/NCI) [C] )

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