Retrospective


What did we do well?

  •  KG - Great job with usage consolidation and I appreciate the leadership on automated accessibility testing. +
  • KG - Great release! We were able to complete all Honeysuckle features. No spillover. 
  • DT - Team's moving toward active Scratch env usage. New feature can be deployed and tested before merging to master. It increases robustness of our code, allow for immediate feedback, makes integration between UI and BE more simple +
  • Rancher is great tool for ongoing testing

What should we have done better?

  • DT - In general module releases went well, but one issue (with logging) was not payed attention to immediately. This led to additional patch releases of several modules/libraries - Move to Release retrospective
  • Additional time is required for get practice with Rancher for successful roll out
  • Rancher service should put some notifications regarding resources stopping and allocation
