What Went Well
[edit]- Heated discussions with Ops
- Portal server setup post-unblock
- Android reboot zero-aware -- messaging, UX doc
- iOS reboot zero-aware
- Firefox OS zero-aware
- Agile coaching session
- Scoping MVP and estimating first portal sprint
- MWC partner meetings
- Moving into Prod/Eng
- Kicking off account reviews and IP migration with partners
- Solved the MTN IP issue in time to launch
- Then solved the Ops problem we created by solving the MTN IP issue
- Gelled our strategy and focus
- Lots of statistics
Went Poorly
[edit]- cross-team collaboration, inability to estimate blockers
- Not enough statistics
- A poor handoff on per-operator dashboard visibility
- Lack of available Wiki had impact on Agile process; affected all priorities
- Closing of first SMS pilot with Airtel Kenya
- Upset Erik and Ops with our solution for MTN IP address issue
Confuses Us
[edit]- Is the Zero Engineering team Agile?
- Image size reduction
- What is the Engineering teams velocity?
- Do we need another engineer?
- Preload priority
- FFOS preload and market share
- Process is in transition and less clear than prior to Agile launch
- Are the Mobile Web/App (Kenan) & Zero (Dan) syncups helpful and visible?
- Exact timing on partner reviews (calendar? can we get big players first?)
- For WAP gateway domain name patterns, support of www.wikipedia.org, other desktop domains, sister projects
- Analytics in apps, tracking pageviews, esp. preloads
- Want to get to know Erik more -
- Third party UX for portal
- our solution/proposal to Erik about SMS
Action items
[edit]- Carolynne -- invite Erik to a lunch or dinner with the team
- Dan -- Compare notes with FB on IP whitelisting/partner pushback? Low priority for now
- Dan - Analytics - make knowledge out of data
- Dan - Set Image-quality RFC closing/resolution meeting date
- Carolynne - Ask Oliver if he can measure market share (pageviews) of FFOS? Do it ourselves?
- Dan - Aircel - what phones connected to WAP gateway, help make decision on support
- Carolynne - Third floor move - questions, party
- Carolynne - Resolve Noble contract and hiring
- Carolynne - Schedule the next retrospective
