Retrospective



Personal highlights

  • Seeing document uploads in action

  • Boot strapping of environments

  • File uploads and notes are great and help make the system work for real end users

  • Document uploads are the best!

  • Document uploads (again)

  • Relaxing vacation! 

What went well

  • License amendments

  • SearchAndSortQuery helped expedite license UI work

  • Fast turnaround of wireframes from @Gill Osguthorpe

  • Notes seemed to go smoothly

  • Willingness of developers to bring questions back to PO/UX team

What caused problems

  • Development server infrastructure getting in the way of @Peter Böhm  

  • File upload needed heavier lifting behind the scenes

    • Grails bug identified

    • toolkit workaround resulted

  • Dates and timezones issues triggered more requirements clarifications

  • Original designs for license amendments caused front-end challenges

  • Took a while to debug a Tags display issue because of differences in browser zoom



Discussion Notes

Date / Timezone issues 

  • Going forward be clear to distinguish between date and date/time in requirements specifications

  • ACTION: ERM scheduling a technical investigation spike in next sprint

Other

  • Work pulling / allocation

    • Sprint planning for initial priorities

    • ERM Delivery Board (Backlog)

    • #erm-developers

  • #erm-updates fallen out of use - is this an issue?

    • many using #erm-developers for when people need help

    • not always clear if something isn't going to plan (exception flagging in #erm-updates)

    • no great love for daily standups
