Suggestions 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 BSuggestions for ImprovementTime box, clear scope, bit sized piecesMatthew BSuggestions for Improvementestimation of ticket duration and hence when it needs to be split into smaller ticketsMatthew BSuggestions for Improvementput retrospective comments in without being nagged.Matthew BSuggestions for ImprovementCapture dependencies of ticketsMatthew BWhat Didn't WorkTeam members missing standups did not allow for good flow of information
What WorkedThe idea of manually defined, static but real/realistic seed data being used to generate tsv files with which to pre-configure structure around studies, study arms, and corresponding cohorts. This has given us a robust, scalable mechanism via which to quickly create a realistic study landscape that we can then import subjects and their clinical data into. We should extend this approach in Sprint 3 and mechanize the associated generation of tsv files.
Philip MWhat WorkedYe being able to iterate the data model in real time during our initial data loads allowed us to immediately address gaps in properties associated with target nodes, and/or fully align field nomenclature before trying to load a given set of data. The pay off from Mark's extra effort on the Make Model tool was huge.

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.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
Use of manually-contrived values for Submitter ID in all nodes downstream of Cycle, rather than IDs derived from actual data values using Pentaho-based transformations. They worked in terms of allowing data imports in the extreme short term, but simply don't represent a realistic, scalable solution.
Philip MSuggestions for ImprovementAs a team, we need to maintain better focus in our meetings.


Bugs


Future

  1. Take model and impose initial data constraints (add properties).
  2. Conduct dry-run of Demo.
  3. Conduct Demo.
