Stressed Feeling

The major issue this sprint was the feeling that no progress has been made this sprint and that we are very busy. There is a general concern that the next sprint we have said we will convert a new instrument but there is a feeling we do not have time for this. The new instrument will be resolved at sprint planning. Progress this sprint has been slow because:

• lots of support calls because of the loss of a key member of the group
• easter holidays and APR season took time out of the sprint
• we need to make sure we can do the number of points in a sprint.
• need to be prepared to say "No" to requests sometimes; if someone doesn't want to do this or are not sure then request should be passed to team lead, group lead or PM.

Number of Reworks

Have a lot of rework tickets, to help this we have agreed to do informal reviews if possible before the ticket goes into review. (This has been added to workflow)

Also agreed to try and make pull requests smaller.

Emulators in Support Modules

We want a discussion about what should be in support modules. Should the emulator and/or OPI be in here?

Use LUA

In general, we would like to LUA instead of st.cmd. There is little risk to this we should start by converting an IOC and make sure it works and then add it to the device generator. Ticket#4288 created]

Pending Tasks

We should make sure that pending tasks scheduled for the next sprint are in sprint planning. Added to sprint planning description
