Previous retrospective notes

  • Try recording code chat in upcoming code chat
  • Mantid has a week after release to tidy up - Not necessary for us as because of our development management style
  • Only run system tests locally if you think it will break the system
  • Instrument demo page - One page with headers for each release instead of one per demo meeting.
  • Sprint 2020.08.19 went well
  • Can change stand up order

Making Review easier

  • Suggest classes/files as a starting point
  • Leave some tips on reviewing

Undocumented features

  • Some tools such as slack were still being used by the IS and the knowledge about the tool was not distributed evenly nor maintained in the wiki
  • Document any information/features that you know which could be useful to the team for development/support.

Hard to keep track of support Email (answered/unanswered)

  • Possible to remove fluff?
  • 5-6 different email for the same topic which is hard to remember (maybe get in touch with Freddie?)

Test environment for our product

  • Installing and running script generator was fine on dev machine whereas it failed on user's machine. We should always test the installation process in an environment which better represents a user's machine.
  • Careful with acceptance criteria
  • Think about pre-requisite

Deciding when to move sprint meetings and prioritise other tasks

  • Let others know that you will not be able to attend sprint planning during stand up
  • Poll to reschedule sprint meetings
