# 20250214 Retro
|
||
|
||
## 🙌 What went well
|
||
|
||
- Pablo had a child ♥️
|
||
- Managed to survive and still get a lot of work done without Pablo
|
||
- Good organization and staying in touch with each other
|
||
- Office & Fun
|
||
- One of the best comilonas so far (upcoming vegetarian next week)
|
||
- New office is cool and much more convenient
|
||
- We have Cobee now!
|
||
- Delivery
|
||
- Solved all invoicing problems and urgent fires
|
||
- TMT is happy with us so we can feel confident we are doing well
|
||
- Updated all Legacy report still in use so we won’t discontinue
|
||
- Nice analysis
|
||
- New metrics and visualizations in Main KPIs looking great
|
||
- A/B test had good results
|
||
- New Dash is growing more and more
|
||
- Company is focusing on setting a strategy and key levers
|
||
|
||
## 🌱 What needs improvement
|
||
|
||
- Pablo is not here
|
||
- Massive context switching and pressure handling
|
||
- Lack of Engineering capability to do engineering work + challenge architectural decisions
|
||
- Airbyte CPU close to 100% for several weeks went unnoticed (though nothing broke)
|
||
- Other teams asking things we can’t handle (or will take a lot of time) because we don’t have an engineer despite all of this being discussed previous to Pablo’s departure
|
||
- RiF + additional people leaving:
|
||
- Unclear restructure, responsibilities, points of contact. Specially on Product team
|
||
- Unclear transition of Data team to RevOps
|
||
- There is a lot of insecurity as to how this will all keep on working with so many people being released or quitting
|
||
- Delivery
|
||
- Old dash invoicing issue
|
||
- People still asking for some adhoc request not through data captain
|
||
- Late dbt run production failures
|
||
- A/B test miscommunication / lack of certainty
|
||
- Priorities in some teams don’t seem to be very aligned yet with the recently presented north star
|
||
|
||
