Sprint 1 Retrospective


What did we do well?

  • @Griff - We ran into unanticipated difficulties, but this felt like any programming project.  Expect the unexpected.
  • Chris Kirkwood-Watts - When we have very specific implementation tasks, we understand how to get that done, how long it will take, etc.
  • Medha Parlikar (Unlicensed): Several team members met their sprint committment!
  • Joseph Denman: Story points seems to be working fine for him. 
  • Michael Stay (Unlicensed) -I feel that things went very well. Let's do it again.

What should we have done better?

  • Chris Kirkwood-Watts
    • Weeks are not nearly as long as if we had explicit requirements.  We are spending a lot of time talking about what we are going to do.
  • Joseph Denman - In future, I should break out the research from the drawing up the documentation.  I need to have compiled all the research before I execute on the documentation.
  • Michael Stay (Unlicensed) - Allocate time at the end of the sprint to report on what happened, but reporting is part of the research task.
