Wikimedia Apps/imported/Retrospective-January 14 2014

Went Well

• Splitting up stories so they have fewer acceptance criteria
• Am continuing to properly work with the designers!+100
• Yuvi and Monte have new code for me to review like all the time :D
• Things seem to be going according to plan, more or less
• Not too many meetings.
• Overall velocity still okay, since we are able to catch up on lost time easily enough
• Sharing video rather than still images.
• Yuvi pointing me in right direction for api-intensive stories
• Devs making time for me! (and vice versa!)
• I have a proper sleep cycle now!+1
• Q3 planning +1+1 (more 'loop' thinking!)

Went Poorly

• We might have overestimated what we could implement on design [May]
• getting iOS builds out (enterprise license) [Brion]

• Overestimated what we could get done over holidays
• Too many stories rolled over to the next sprint
• Getting Brion to do shiny new things
• Need a android dev focusing on design and performance +100

Confuses us

• Acceptance/sign off [Kenan]
• How will we run the iOS beta [brion: get hold of apple enterprise folks asap!] +1

• Still trying to find the best way to demo. Prerecoding videos seems to work best as long as we set permissions right :D
• How bad do we want an award?
  • https://developer.apple.com/wwdc/events/awards/ this is the level we want to be at (very?)+ I want a cookie (pfft, Apple centiricism! :P)
• How bad do you want to take Yahoo down (in design, i mean, they're kicking ass) or Google?!
