Retrospective
Personal highlights
- Tags work
- slick - good user feedback
- one of first teams to use it, and offer search
- good re-use of FOLIO shared components
- some technical challenges
- back-end differences (not RMB) increased time taken to deliver
- need to continue to factor this into estimates and sprint planning
What went well
- Splitting work across Agreements and Licenses so that Aditya and Mark weren't stepping on each other's toes.
- re SearchAndSortQuery
- Tags work delivered
- cross-team working
- functionality had been around a lot, so a mature starting point
- maintaining UI consistency helped smooth delivery (if not back-end)
- Changes to Search&Sort component seem to go smoothly!
- no UI issues identified in testing
- worthwhile to have ui integration tests
What caused problems
- Lack of ability to make changes to k-int web toolkit
- CE version is kind of a fork
- usage not contribution
- compromise between Tech Council and K-int
- a lot of the code pre-dates FOLIO, but new code is likely to go into the ERM modules
- code that is shared across licenses and agreements could go into a new library
- CE version is kind of a fork
- Lack of ability to test front-end changes in QA environment
- front-end doesn't seem to be deploying everything
- may be obviated by the testing resolution being discussed between Ian and Wayne
- tenant activation hooks may be helpful for this
- Code review > QA process stuck: unable to test issues or close sprint
- Availability of people to pull work items
- from Code Review pool to QA pool
- from QA pool to Accepted
- Easy to miss items that are incorrectly assigned
- Useful to have targeted notifications
- Can perhaps incorporate 'pending action' items in daily updates
- Useful to have 1-click acknowledgement to avoid excessive chasing and flow disruption from chasing
- Availability of people to pull work items
Discussion Notes

- Jag Gorayato discuss shared library options with Ian re toolkit issue
- steve.osguthorpe to liaise with Ian about tenant activation hook for pre-loading data to (test) environment.
