Background

This retro is for the S82:

Thursday, March 14th

Wednesday, March 27th

Please add comments before the meeting! We’ll take a few minutes to add additional comments and discuss, then put together action items to operationalize suggestions.

Last sprints (S82) retro is here: S82 Retrospective

Add your Start doing, Stop doing, and Keep doing items to the table below. We'll use these to talk about how we can improve our process going forward.

Discussion topics:

What is the structure to ensure tickets in sprint planning have already been groomed?
- Rather than making all states ahead of time for planning, would it be easier to just do the basics and then reactively do the states where there are questions or comments from engineering?
  - Loic Sans “No, it’s part of my design process.”
- One thought: Grooming could more concretely focus on the next sprint rather than touching on several topics that will be worked on over the coming months.
- Should there be a design flow similar to engineering? For example using the LUX board with various stages, e.g. “Farmer success review”, “Ready for grooming”, etc.
  - Duncan Brain sees value in this.
  - Loic Sans thought it would difficult because design scope is squishier.
Sprint logistics for transition
- Document making
  - Also can we get the holidays/timeline spreadsheet
- Meeting invites
  - Joyce Sato-Reinhold will do so!
- Transferring from product timeline to sprint goals / scopes
  - Lite Farm will create a document outlining key deadlines for FY2024 and when we should release to satisfy each of those. During “the transition” it will probably come down to what is most ready for working and then that will become the next sprint.
  - Once we have a new product person, they will proactively chunk sprints
- Dedicated/rotating “speaker” role?
  - Just facilitation could be a 1 pointer that is claimed at every sprint planning session
  - Actually prepping AND facilitating (esp. sprint planning) would likely be more in the range of 2 - 3
- Any other changes to meeting goals etc?
  - Anto had been assigning tickets to the engineering team - should we continue this or should folks volunteer for them at sprint planning?
    - Volunteer based post-pointing session post-planning
  - Should we look at closing out tickets on the kanban before starting S84?
    - No one is doing validation for the time being, so once verified the ticket is “Done”, Lite Farm will make this transition in Jira
  - Joyce Sato-Reinhold misses the dedicated pointing meeting (this was a casualty of Focus Friday).
    - Dedicated pointing session post-planning
- Agile bot admin
  - Joyce Sato-Reinhold to become admin!

Start doing	Stop doing	Keep doing	Shout outs
Loic Sans to occasionally write-up stories for complex interactions (example: ) Joyce Sato-Reinhold will send out meeting invites! Volunteer for the role of facilitator at each sprint planning	Half baked sprints where grooming is taking place during sprint planning	Remember Kevin + Anto fondly as they move on to their post-LiteFarm lives	David Trapp (Unlicensed) for an excellent job at prioritizing lots of different tasks and just “making it happen” Denis Dovganyuk for being an insatiable learner and efficiently keeping quality on track Larisse Cavalcante for owning social media and taking initiative on post and article ideas - keep it up! Sayaka Ono for scoping the Add animal flow in the sprint ! It was a big one! +1 David Trapp (Unlicensed) for taking on a lot of responsibility during the transition here and appreciate your insight about transition Joyce Sato-Reinhold for taking on the jobs that need to be done

Action items:

Review previous retro’s action items
Lite Farm to make release planning document public
Lite Farm to add “Facilitator” role to sprint planning template → devs made Jira ticket for this
Joyce Sato-Reinhold will take over meeting invites!
