Sprint 19 April 25, 2017

On April 25th, 2018, the TalentMAP team met to perform a retrospective of the sprint. The team reviewed I Liked..., I Wish... and What If... items, and moved on to dot voting. Each team was dot-voted on using the process of every participant having 6 votes, where the first vote is 3 dots, second vote is 2 dots, and third vote is 1 dot. The themes are ordered based on the number of votes they received.

I liked...

• About page
• Design documentation and collab with 18F design
• Rapid changes
• Quick and on-schedule build/deployment of alpha
• New environments
• Almost done with the first year
• Time constraints means letting go of perfectionism and shipping

I wish...

• Anxiety about design documentation amounts
• PoP ending sooner than expected
• Data sync + validation / SOAP inconsistencies
• SOAP sync performance (Data sync is taking way longer than expected)
• ADFS rework
• DoS issues: DS PostgreSQL scan outstanding & Outstanding badge access (HR/EX)
• Disconnect with some changes seen on current build
• Time constraints: hard to let go of perfection
• Lots of different actors involved in comms planning == uncertainty about user education

What if...

• Streamlined path to deployment
• Successful testing resulting in more accurate data
• All data sources and transformations documented (data dictionary)
• Draft/review of documents
• TalentMAP Emoji
