# 20240709 Retro

|
## 🙌 What went well
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- **Delivery**
|
|||
|
|
- Huge advancements on reporting capabilities (KPIs, Xero, Check in Hero, currency conversion)
|
|||
|
|
- Important/critical data captain subjects moving forward
|
|||
|
|
- **Stakeholders**
|
|||
|
|
- Good organization and advancing with tasks, good feedback from outside
|
|||
|
|
- Priorities setting and alignment with stakeholders is now much leaner and efficient
|
|||
|
|
- Awareness campaign with engineers around breaking stuff in Core
|
|||
|
|
- **Internal**
|
|||
|
|
- Data Engineering super fast survival training program
|
|||
|
|
- High quality approaches to tough bones: incidents, refactors, etc.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
## 🌱 What needs improvement
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- **Platform**
|
|||
|
|
- Data drift is happening and we have no scheduled full-refreshes
|
|||
|
|
- Dbt run in production not displaying alerts
|
|||
|
|
- PBI Licenses/Group permissions are a (invisible) ball of hair
|
|||
|
|
- Full-refreshing in local reaches the error “could not resize shared memory segment "/PostgreSQL.4065550950" to 907743232 bytes: No space left on device”
|
|||
|
|
- **Documentation**
|
|||
|
|
- Documentation on business KPIs, both technical (for Data) and broadly for consumers
|
|||
|
|
- We’re dropping balls with some conventions (exposures documentation, keeping data catalogue up to date, etc)
|
|||
|
|
- Exploration of tables to check which ones have incomplete, outdated or wrong data
|
|||
|
|
- Not all stakeholders use the data request form still
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
## 💡 Ideas for what to do differently
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- Hands-on knowledge sharing by diversifying working scopes (I feel we have clear ownerships of X products)
|
|||
|
|
- Capacity to focus without interruptions
|
|||
|
|
- Possibility of managing power bi active directories ourselves
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
