Windows Sprint 2 post mortem - ansible/community GitHub Wiki

I had some thoughts following Windows Sprint 2 which I have recorded here @jhawkesworth

Please add any further oboservations or suggestions so future sprints can be improved.

Sprint 2 post mortem

  • Perhaps pick less issues so that overall we spend less time doing triage.
  • The timeboxing idea wasn't bad but need a way to enforce it (a shell script to echo ^G every few mins perhaps). But needs to be flexible enough to switch order of tickets, as interested parties/OPs can appear at any time.
  • Triaged approx 12 issues in 60 mins. Hard to say how long it to triage last 2 issues as WWG meeting conincided.
  • Should state that your ticket gets priority consideration if you show up on #ansible-windows when publicizing tickets.
  • Make notes on tickets as we go, it was time-consuming to have to go back to each issue and add notes later.

Other ideas

  • Maybe have a follow up session in say 2 weeks to clear up the wiki, see what still needs attention.

  • Figure out how we can get more community involvement in selecting sprint content.

  • a features only sprint might be a nice idea (win_xml alone might eat a whole session)

  • documentation was something that came up as part of a lot of the issues, so encourage community members who can write and test to attend

  • document how to use packer, vagrant etc to create test windows inventory.
