8/8/2023: Krypton 2023 Sprint 15 Miro board

  • Increased confidence level from 2 to 3 - maybe has to do with the teams focusing on their own teams' work vs the project as a whole since there's not as much visibility

  • We only have 23 tickets in the backlog with 17 (excluding data migration/job credits potentially) not started yet - more of a direct vision to "the end"?

  • EM's to work with PM's to determine what work is left and how to best group Devs to work on that together

  • Trying to get things out quicker can cause us to overlook things, but some folks don't seem like this is a new problem right now

  • Change to FE duplication standard could be a possibility - moved from 3% to 90%

  • Team to focus more on the PR process to try and catch these earlier if possible

  • Difficult trade-off rush to get code out vs focusing stronger on quality

  • Epic Owners: https://miro.com/app/board/uXjVM8h3iVY=/

  • Bri, Janaky Raymond: Instead of waiting for approval before the team starts work, can we have folks pull tickets in from the Backlog in order and they can tag you to let you know they've done it and then ask if there's something else that takes higher priority?

  • Don't want people to not feel empowered/trusted to work on what needs to be done - try to find a balance between "asking permission vs forgiveness" (for lack of better terms)

  • Follow up with Isaac / ECM on getting FE's backends to point to QA

  • FE team had a lot of issues recently - couldn't get builds to build consistently, not sure what the original issue was before

  • Had to revert back to Java 17 for some - others it just started working on its own

  • Improvements to the clean command should be revisited after initial launch

  • Question out to Lysle & Bri - will update shortly

7/11/2023: Combined Sprint 12& 13 Retro

Notes in Miro
  • Krypton 2023 Sprint 12: 6/14/2023-7/4/2023

  • Krypton 2023 Sprint 13: 7/4/2023-7/11/2023

Alyssa to schedule monthly cross-team Retro starting on 7/25
Either use 1 PM Krypton or 3 PM Blue Dot
FE's to meet and discuss DoD for shared components
Shared components should be standardized
Clear & consistent options instead of multiple
Can this be taken care of during the next FE sync?
Devs are going to start chat in FE Slack channel and either set time up tomorrow (Wed 7/12) or wait until the sync on Thursday
Storybook that Zach is working on can help with this
Component isn't "shared" if it's created as a one-off/doesn't have multiple subscribers
Can someone create a Confluence page with this info/ability for others to share feedback?
Style guide/kitchen sink
Need to schedule FE meeting
Tom is also creating style guide
Further discussion for MVP

  • Issues with frontend side communication on how things will be done. And overlapping work

  • To have FE and BE work be split to different tickets

  • Peer Review process seemed to get backed up a little bit

  • Vue composition API requirement wasn’t communicated before hand. Had a action item specified above regarding this.

  • Should consider dependencies when assigning tickets to other team

  • Kudos to Qiyi for all testing in the Sprint. Sean for reviewing every backend ticket. Surya is back.

  • Team work and team synergy seems to be increasing

  • Datalayer code successfully deployed to Production

  • Got amount of work done within the sprint.
