Retrospective
What did we do well?
- Working in Agile as our first time.
- Team was open to agile process.
- Capturing stories (story breakdown)
- Learned a lot about agile
- Learned a lot out the tool (Jira)
- Tasks were completed on time.
- First at story points, will help establish velocity.
- Although the sprint started out rough we were able to pull it together.
What should we have done better?
- Needed to have better exit criteria.
- Need to have full team acceptance of Agile
- Too much focus on methodology and tooling, instead of the work to be done.
- Estimates weren't done well - some easier/faster than other.
- Missing the to capture Capacity - what each team member could work (hours).
- Assignment of stories/tasks was random. Mostly based on experience and who we thought should do certain tasks.
- Need to correctly break down epics into stories and tasks before we start the sprint.
- Need to determine a good of reporting to NCI and team for progress. (aside from agile board).
- Stand-ups need to include review of agile board and have team update work log prior to the standup.
