Shout outs

  • Being more proactive around making tech debt and bugfixing part of every sprint planning on top of having specific bugfixing/tech debt weeks

  • Doing continuous translations rather than a massive list at the end of the sprint. (Loic)

  • More specific process for translations?

  • What happened to post-release vacation? (I never heard of post-release vacation? (smile) )

  • I would like to get involved in non-sensitive styling issues - ie: SASS or CSS (Loic).

  • Working on tickets that need translators right before a release date

  • Stop releasing on Fridays

  • 2 week release cycle!! (Unanimous agreement!!)

  • Post release patch (they are easy, and fun – and the alternative is stricter code freeze)

  • I want to validate all visual and user sensitive tickets (Loic)

  • Dev control of the release process / checklist

  • One day a week of plain focus.

  • One reviewer per PR.

  • Paid testers.

  • Target Tuesdays (to Thursdays as necessary) for release

  • I would like to say a huge thank you to the whole team for their support. Especially to Antonella for all her efforts to help me learn JavaScript.

  • Anto Sgarlatta for leading our smoothest release process yet! (And also to patch team – we did really well too!)

  • All the team for doing great work (heart)

Action items:

  • Review previous retro action items
  • Look into Jira: is there a way to calculate and track the portion of time spent on feature vs tech debt Anto Sgarlatta
  • Make sure each sprint has a few tech debt tickets, even when the focus of the sprint is feature development Anto Sgarlatta
  • Try tagging Loic Sans and Larisse Cavalcante in open PRs for 1-2 sprints and re-evaluate @devs
  • Meeting between Larisse Cavalcante and David Trapp and Joyce Sato-Reinhold to discuss this PR process
  • Schedule all-team meeting on translation process (and do some research on alternatives processes and tools) Anto Sgarlatta
  • Reinstate post-release vacation @team
  • Anto Sgarlatta to discuss current implementation of app styling with Loic Sans during next 1-on-1
  • Postpone tickets that require translation (unless completely critical) until after release @team
  • No labels
