Retrospective

What happened

• Risk about not having enough time due to other commitments happened
  • Team members already have midterms
  • The thanksgiving weekend was very busy for most of the team so very little work actually got done then
  • Work that was blocking other work wasn't done quickly
• Risk about team members not having a lot of experience with technologies
  • There wasn't a lot of knowledge spreading amongst the team
  • Team members spent time figuring stuff out for themselves when they could have asked other team members for help.
• Risk about team misestimating the amount of time it will take to get work done
  • Tasks such as implementing log in and improving our CI took a lot longer than expected to implement
  • Tasks were not broken down as well as they could have been

What are we doing next time to address this

• When planning stuff out we asked about upcoming availability for the next sprint
  • Try get people with time early in the sprint to work on an finish tasks that will block other tasks.
• Create smaller tasks that are more well defined
  • Team members should also follow the definition of done when working of tasks
    • This should reduce the amount of time that tasks take in reviewer
    • This should hopefully reduce the number of bugs introduced into the codebase
• Pair programming to spread knowledge among the team
• Ensure to ask questions within the team whenever
