Retrospective

List anything that went well in this sprint including shout out to others that went out of their way to help (add your name after your comment)
Ying, Ming (NIH/NCI) [C] answered a bunch of my questions regarding some of the finer details of implementing the interoperation microservice (Miller, Eric (NIH/NCI) [C]).
Enjoyed team brainstorm process when new changes and possible opportunities for a different user experience were surfaced. Thanks to Kuffel, Gina (NIH/NCI) [C] and Musk, Philip (NIH/NCI) [C] for the dialogue and sharing of ideas and feedback as we reaccess the cart experience. (Stogsdill, Hannah (NIH/NCI) [C] )

List anything that we could have done better in this sprint (add your name after your comment)
Personally, I'd like to see more of the pro-active information sharing so nicely exemplified by Rana, Ambar (NIH/NCI) [C] taking the reins and showing us the new React Flow in our initial sprint planning. There is absolutely nothing to be gained from not getting technical challenges, implementation concerns and also positive findings out sooner rather than later, but plenty to lose. I'd really like to hear more sooner from the engineering team and have the QA team poke holes in things. No emergency, but I think engagement within the team has tailed off a little (Musk, Philip (NIH/NCI) [C])

List anything you learned about in this sprint (add your name after your comment)
Learned more about IDC/TCIA data nodes and their respective APIs. Also became more familiar with node.js and GraphQL (Miller, Eric (NIH/NCI) [C]).
We (Kuffel, Gina (NIH/NCI) [C] and myself) have some work to do on better defining our expectations around featuring/sharing videos, articles, etc. via the News page (Musk, Philip (NIH/NCI) [C])
