Retrospective Notes 2018.10.29 - ISISComputingGroup/ibex_developers_manual GitHub Wiki

Generally slow sprint because of holidays. Please announce holidays to Kevin where possible so it can be planned in.

  • Should we automatically measure how long tickets took?
    • No this is too hard but we should add comments to tickets which took too long or was overestimated. PM will pick this up at sprint end and make us a list to discuss.
  • Changes over a certain size to be pair reviewed?
    • Yes for the moment create a label to indicate this
    • Look for a tool to measure complexity change (ticket being added)
  • Access control on INST:LIST?
    • No fine for the moment, but change process for setting it to include a review before running.
  • Review column > 10 items, ok?
