Discussion

PO Meeting Agendas are very full, at the same time there are repeatedly requested agenda items that fall into the very important professional development/workflow refinement category. Proposal: 

• Product Owner Workshops:

  • Help new or inexperienced POs gain new skills

  • Provide opportunities for POs to refine skills

  • Co-ordinate/sync/understand various workflows

  • Free up working PO meeting to focus on timely tasks

  • Library Carpentry content

  • Sharing techniques and problem solving approaches

Agreed - next steps:
Gather topics, working with teams, working with SIGs, Creating JIRAs, Managing Dashboards, Developer
Use these for documentation

Code Deadlines

Kelly

Missed deadlines are delaying releases, increase opportunity to introduce bugs
Difficulties in meeting deadlines - how do we address/resolve?

• Confusion about deadlines? - too many deadlines - hard to keep track of?

• Improve estimates?

• Reduce pressure?

• Cost benefit analysis for exceptions? ie library pain vs dev time taken from other duties vs time between releases

• Stop development of new features sooner

• Release deadlines sooner

• PO Meeting should include review of timeline and where we are
