What Went Well
==============

- Productive week (matched existing velocity of 32) almost entirely thanks to G and D, despite being at 90% power
- Good uTu week; finished all estimated stories for the sprint
- uTu is nice (easy to troubleshoot with, a good partner)
- Got helpful PR comments from outside team (Terry)

What Didn't Go Well
===================

- John struggles with Talkbox. "Unknown unknowns"
- Perhaps ought to have completed and shipped Nitro uploader lock story instead of switching back to C2C
- Building a Nitro React component is still a lot of work and not a smooth process
  - Component generation template needs work

Kaizen
======

- Let's (as a team and as individuals) keep the pressure on uTu to deliver workable scores
  - Let's briefly review the previous day's project scores + cancelations during the standups
  - We should ensure that scores make sense
  - Question uTu when scores don't make sense
  - Ask uTu what else is needed from PHRG
- Generally speaking: we should be curious about the products we're building
  - In the future this can (should?) involve more involvement during the definition/design phase
  - Work to understand the who/how/why of use cases

15 Second Shout-Outs
====================

- Diego.... helped with storybook/styleguide
- Markie.... helped with UI
