Retrospective



What did we do well?

  • We got RNode and RSpace released

  • We were largely problem-free during the release phase

  • Pre-release planning session for RNode-0.3 was helpful and productive

    • Going forward

      • We don't need a lot of process for this to happen. It should happen naturally and when a developer knows clarity and help are needed

      • Preference for the person who is asking for help to be the one typing (learning though doing)

      • Idea create a channel "drive thru"



What should we have done better?

  • Henry offered mea culpa to Yaraslau on asking to split out of PR

    • Thanks to Yaraslau for doing that

  • Signing problems could have been mitigated had we done more "dress rehearsal" because we didn't need all that Nash worked to deliver

    • Going forward...

  • Small, low-priority tasks don't get done

    • Going forward think about ways to complete this work and not lose sight of how it fits in. 

  • How do we capture retrospective notes as we go along?

    • Personal capturing

    • Kelly to remind in standup
