Prokopovych - Retrospective / Action Plan

• Release: Cate Boerema (Deactivated) to talk to POs about doing permission testing throughout the quarter. Ask if we want some permission users set up by default. What permissions should they have?

• Cate Boerema (Deactivated) to check if the reset password functionality works. If it doesn't, will raise an issue for DevOps to investigate
• Release: Marc Johnson to follow up on additional users being created in the snapshot environment
• Oleksiy_Lemeshko to pass on to POs and Scrum Masters to make sure that (UI) issues are in the right project and have a fix version
• Oleksiy_Lemeshko to follow up with Cate his involvement in testing
• Zak Burke to raise GET/POST problem on TL meeting
• Release: Marc Johnson to raise a problem about release routine in JIRA on TL meeting
• Release: Marc Johnson and Zak Burke to prepare some kind of agenda for KT session or description of release process to present it to the team. @OL with set up the meeting once both are ready

• Developers and POs need to think about release deadlines differently. Dev deadline should actually be 3 days before (to give POs time to review and reopen, if needed). Oleksiy_Lemeshko: Needs to be raised as project question. Should we add additional milestones?

  
  

• More frequent releases? Would need to lower cost of releasing (e.g. bugfest testing). Could we automate bugfest? Also, some features will only be half-done when you want to release. We could develop the capability to turn the feature off. FOLIO is not setup for that at the moment.
• Even if we set dev deadlines earlier to avoid having unfinished work merged at time of release deadline, we know we will sometime need to re-release modules or patch modules when unfinished work comes in.

• Marc will bring up the news thing again with tech leads. People should put titles and good descriptions on PRs etc.

• Could use the release JIRA issues to discuss release dates as long as the right people are watching the JIRA

• Other front-end devs from Core Functional could help Zak with releasing modules

  Same for backend modules

  Don't want to scatter this to the wind but there is value in spreading knowledge somewhat. Especially in case Zak or Marc is out. They could also serve as escalation point if there are problems.

• We could do some releases part way through the quarter (not to be used by anyone - kind of like a practice release). Will reduce the change log work needed at the end.

• Oleksiy_Lemeshko to check with POs the list of stories for forthcomming refinement

• Cate Boerema (Deactivated) to raise with capacity planning group the situation with CF team involvement in helping other teams

• Sprint retrospective agenda should be extended to cover sprint review topics:

• extra items added to sprint during the sprint
• wrong estimations that did not include some aspect
• raise discussion about carry over items 2+ times

along with regular retro discussion. Assignee: Oleksiy_Lemeshko

• Below tasks assignment approach should be followed by Core: Functional team members:

• look to the To Do column of Core: Functional Scrum Board in the current sprint for work to do before considering other stories. Please consider priority/order
• raise with Lead PO and/or SM if you're about to work on an item that is not in the sprint. Stand-up is workable channel
