## 🙌 What went well
|
||
|

|
||
- Problem detection and resolutions
|
||
- We keep on spearheading incident management and doing things right
|
||
- Incidents are finally hurting enough for TMT to pay (some) attention
|
||
- **Deliveries**
|
||
- KPIs refactor, including daily modelisation +1
|
||
- Integration of Hubspot into DWH
|
||

|
||
- GUEST TAXES CROSSCHECK FINISHED (AT LAST)
|

|
||

||
## 🌱 What needs improvement
|
||
|
||
- **Incidents**
|
||
- Persistent bugs in BookingToProductBundle
|
||
- Old invoicing incident
|
||
- + generally a lot of incidents all over the place
|
||
- **People**
|
||
- Layoffs communication sourness
|
||
- Lou D. leaving us
|
||
- **Priorities and planning**
|
||
- Tons of unplanned work - delaying other deliverables for Q4 +2
|
||
- Q1 company priorities still mostly focus on deliver new stuff rather than fixing core business
|
||
- + general misalignment between TMT and boots on the ground
|
||
- Data Engineer vacancy not filled by now clearly impacting Q1 +2
|
||
- Some Data Requests do not reach the channel, needs investigation
|
||
- General doomloop sourness around New Dash, with no light at end of tunnel
|
||
|
||
## 💡 Ideas for what to do differently
|
||
|
||
- New Dash retrospective with PMs/Dash Squad/Data by the EOY
|
||
- CI/CD checks on DWH complete PR button to ensure branch is up-to-date with master branch
|
||
- Modify data captain distribution
|
||
- Include Tech Team in data alerts channel and tag them
|
||
- Propose and discuss how to align with Tech team to avoid context switching and optimise time and effort
|
||
|
||

||
- [ ] Reassess DE plans
