Retro Notes Oct 13 2017.txt

What Went Well?
===============
- uTu pace picking up, lots of stories (a more responsive Marcus)
- Plenty of stories; no story starvation (mostly... Garett was looking for stuff a bit on Thursday)
- John had a review
- Nice to do some "pseudo-greenfield" work in "our" component; decided on own style/convention
- Cross-team collabs w/ Broundon, Terry
- Paired on some stories w/ each other (internally to JARVIS)
- David's Capistrano PR was merged to Capistrano master 🎉


What Didn't Go As Planned?
==========================
- Breaking changes on uTu side
- Marcus' responsiveness is variable (3 minutes or 3 hours?)
- Merge holds and QA failures 
- Failed to anticipate MySQL TEXT/LONGTEXT "quirk"
- John neglected to merge LONGTEXT fix


Kaizen
======

Next week, during standups, we'll iterate through each open story.

This *should* not be a big change, as generally there should be a 1:1 relationship between developers and open stories.


Happiness

  Company - 4.9
  To get to 5.0 - more coffee
  
Garett
  Role - 4.8
  Company - 4.8
  To get to 5.0 - I'm not really sure this gist nor a LONGTEXT would hold the transcription of this discussion
  
John
  Role - 3.1
  Company - 5.0
  To get to 5.0 - Instant Nitro app launch + deploy, remembering to merge things that should have been done 172 sprints ago
