# 20250319 Retro

## 🙌 What went well

- **We can live without Pablo**
    - Welcoming back Pablo with nothing burning
    - You guys have chewed through my leave wonderfully. Everyone happy and nothing has exploded. Good job!
- **Company situation**
    - Clearer company strategy
    - It seems the dust has settled after the December/Jan company changes.
    - Data team has clearly been positioned as an important one in Truvi and we're on the table to decide where the company is going
- **Deliveries**
    - Good advance with new reports (Churn Report, Resolutions)
    - New Main KPIs tab with targets and performance MTD & YTD
    - Excel training session
    - Data-driven alert spotting and communication (HTVR)
- **Work with other teams**
    - Good organization between us and Matt to decide work priorities
    - Good collabs with Alex & Nathan
- So far good adaptation to Truvi rebranding, though there is still work to be done.

## 🌱 What needs improvement

- **Company org and ways of working**
    - Lack of communication of how is the hierarchy with recent changes
    - Many opened frontlines / context switching (despite it has reduced in the latest weeks)
    - Company organisation after RIF is still not clear, specially on Product side
    - Many fires still in Tech side
    - I don't see initiatives on the table that I feel will move the needle
- Though training sessions of excel and power bi, help we need to find ways to make them more engaging for the users
- We need more engineering skills within the team (despite nothing really extremely was broken in Pablo’s absence)

## 💡 Ideas for what to do differently

- Folder and naming convention in DWH → we have CosmosDB + Core cases that end up in a Athena/E-Deposit/CIH/Resolution folder
- Copilot paid version
