Date of Sprint Retrospective: 14-03-2018
-
Build Performance
- builds are now much faster.
- there is still room for improvement.
-
Windows 10 testing
- Windows 7 will be supported by Microsoft for only two more years.
- over time, instrument machines will migrate to Windows 10 (probably the new LTS version of Windows 10)
- we need to be prepared for this
- also need to consider what happens to SECI during this time period
-
Prune the Backlog
- we agreed the backlog should be pruned. Be ruthless about it! (we can always re-open tickets if we are too ruthless).
-
In coming sprints we will prioritise Script Server work, then E4 migration and then support for LSS scripting & graphing (because scripting & graphing will benefit from the Script Server and E4 work).
- Kevin will follow up with Andrew Caruana to get more details of LSS scripting requirements.
-
How do we track user requests? We will create a process that adds a re-request label and consult this during planning
- Can we do better about managing expectations? Probably not but can increase the visibility of the request using re-request label
- Is it acceptable to tell people a feature can not be achieved because of engineering constraint? Yes if it is not an experimental critical feature; but probably check with the group first. If it is experiment critical we need to flag this and be creative.
-
How do we create scientist release notes? They should be created during the release by the release builder (see wiki).
-
Workflow for genie python development? See ticket 3046
