Retrospective
- Can we encourage participation of testers in the sprint review and retrospective processes - make testers feel more part of the core team and process - testers say they won't hold back from contributing tho if a burning issue crops up
- John made first PR - thats a good milestone
- John - Flow improving - familiarity with tech stack improving, groovy & grails improving
- Problems - it's hard at the start when everything is new, language, environment, team, etc
- Adi - Solid progress on bigtest
- Peter - Access to server and config of VMs is still a problem
- Gill - Good to see progress
- Kurt - Flow improving with tech stack, similar issues with transitioning to the new stack etc
- MD - Encourage people to participate in the public chat on erm-dev for knowledge sharing and comms
- Steve - Been away most of last sprint
Personal highlights
- First PR - Solid milestone
- Good to see new functionality appearing in deployed systems
- Familiarity with tools and techniques improving
- Bigtest infrastructure installed - good step forwards
- General Tooling and onboarding improving
What went well
- Really great feedback from the stakeholders and project about the quality and efficiency of our work - got some explicit feedback from Kirstin.
What caused problems
- Onboarding
- Insufficient communication in public channels on slack
- Devops problems impact development priorities - as we're a shared resource
- Not enough cross knowledge sharing going on
- Jira issue management: missed sprint closure on work that was essentially done
Discussion Notes
Not enough cross knowledge sharing going on
- Limited time to go through everything: poll team for priority WIP demo and engineering design notes each week
