# 20240611 Retro
## 🙌 What went well
- Priorities and capacity
- Data team has increased in capacity
- TMT has a lot more visibility and alignment with us
- Weve done a good job at structuring demand and ****keeping pushy stakeholders at bay
- Adhoc/Data Captain deliveries have been flowing orders of magnitude better than in the Pablo-era
- Team organization is working well
- Internal collaboration is quite smooth so far (were good people 🙂)
- VERY GOOD documentation in Notion, repositories, etc. on the Data stack
- The way we are organizing the team and distributing the responsibilities, I really appreciate the tools we are using like the board that makes very easy to keep track of everyone's assignments.
- I think the dailies are also very helpful to stay in contact and updated to what everyone is doing in their day to day work
- I feel very comfortable with the team and the disposition of everyone to be very helpful inside and outside the office.
## 🌱 What needs improvement
- Development workflow in dbt / PBI could be more agile and frictionless
- Stakeholder visibility/relationship with other teams
- Clear lack of data exposed / reported to business and product teams
- Backlog of engineering dependencies/topics is messy and we drop balls
- Data priorities and tempos visibility to the rest of the business
- Data modelisation problems from the source (ex: guest journey end date needs tons of logic because it was not properly implemented, expected revenue figures, sources of Hosts, etc)
- To have a documentation of all the data we can work with, maybe of the source tables.
## 💡 Ideas for what to do differently
- Tooling
- More hands-on development onboarding for Data
- A bit complicated to review PBI reports - ensure these are exposed in our workspace for Data team reviews?
- More connection with the engineering team
- Start running dbt tests in production
- Reduce bus factor for Data Engineering
## ✔ Action items
- [ ] Formalize further the relationship between Data <> Engineering and dependencies
- [ ] Backend documentation and know-how Productboard item
- [ ] Simplify dumping of prd data to local environment
- [ ] Add to backlog the creation of onboarding-hello-world-challenges
- [ ] Discuss further hands in Engineering with Ben C.
- [ ] Add `dbt test` to dbt run script
- [x] Kidnap staging workspace to make delivery
