## 🙌 What went well
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- **Org**
|
|||
|
|

|
|||
|
|
- New DevOps project to track Data Quality issues
|
|||
|
|
- **Deliveries and WIP**
|
|||
|

|
|||
|
|
- +1
|
|||
|

|
|||
|
|
- +1
|
|||
|

|
|||
|
|

|
|||
|
|

|
|||
|
|

|
|||
|

|
|||
|
|
- + infinite
|
|||
|
|
- Things are chill
|
|||
|
|
- Some holidays!
|
|||
|
|
- A lot less data alerts recently
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
## 🌱 What needs improvement
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- **Disorganization, misalignment**
|
|||
|
|
- Feeling like current lines of work are not really impactful
|
|||
|
|
- I feel company has become very disorganized. Management runs in circles in meetings, ICs do business as usual in complete disconnect.
|
|||
|
|
- Being pulled in in some mostly waste of time meetings
|
|||
|
|
- API team feels a little lost, it’s lacking a clear leader and communication
|
|||
|
|
- **… which is causing …**
|
|||
|
|
- Things are too chill, routine is kicking in
|
|||
|
|
- We’re losing communication output (Data News not being sent on time, didn’t do training sessions on new reports, unclear output of illustrations A/B test)
|
|||
|
|
- And also quarterly planning and lookback
|
|||
|
|
- **Technical**
|
|||
|
|
- The goddamn CI server is a headache
|
|||
|
|
- Missing someone like Joan who kept us more in the loop with the guest team
|
|||
|
|
- Finance new tracking of Host Resolutions broke Business Targets for a few days
|
|||
|
|
- Massive involvement on HTVR invoicing discrepancies that should not really be on our scope
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
## 💡 Ideas for what to do differently
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- Should we take the chance of the team’s anniversary to fully review our ways of working, rituals, systems, etc?
|
|||
|
|
- Self-run with lines of work that we can lead independently
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
## ✔ Action items
|
|||
|
|
|
|||

- [ ] Think about changing dbt model naming/structure conventions
|
|||
|
|
- Should `int/cross` be split into… something?
|
|||
|
|

|
|||
|
|
- [ ] Read Shape-up ([https://basecamp.com/shapeup/](https://basecamp.com/shapeup/)) and discuss next retro
|
|||
|
|
- [ ] Document all the config references (URLs, DB connection strings, credentials, etc)
|
|||
|

- [ ] Agree with Ben R. on a different way to manage permissions PBI
|
