QA feedback:
Worried that so few QA bugs were logged. It seems like most of the bugs were filed by internal (Design) and not with the QA team.
Needs more explicit requirements for testing and the test plan.
Need more devices to test with. Erin will approve request.
Need to find devices - Nate states he had a few in the drawer.

What went well:
Jack still ramping up and its getting easier
Productivity is up
What could go better:
Temp is up - this is bad
Passive Data repository is a large story. Should try to estimate prior to starting a task. Still working through the tasks to get it ready
Estimating uploads without Erin is difficult

6/14/21
App launched - have been doing fixes and new builds from NU
Shannon Demo - iOS assessment viewer
What went well:
Zephyr Scale approved and will begin writing manual tests with QA from SDP
Goals were accomplishable with designs so this sprint went better with limited “emergencies”
Onboarding is completed and Jack is started to get his feet under him.
Ops backlog is under control so able to focus better on sprint work.
What could go better:
No release signoff process for MTB app and would like for at least android
Need to fully document processes (sprint planning, standup, RTW etc)
Planning and roadmaps are not clear and published, we need to communicate better for platform features vs small one offs
Action Items
Ann to investigate why not all stories appear on sprint board (besides epics) - Fixed, it was a permission issue
create a release process and document for production with approval designators - In progress - SDLC needs additional work.

Feeling good heads down time. Getting close for Android
Onboarding learning has been fun.
Feature Discussions are getting nitty gritty (notifications) but that means that we are close to set and able to see the details.
Pieces are coming together for Norming App.
Agreement to have SDP QA testing will hopefully start soon.
And able to test with the iOS app and start to look at additional features.

Xa has been awesome getting the bin tray transition resolved quickly
Jack’s onboarding went well
Still not getting everything planned pre sprint so putting out fires. +2
Alx getting asked to handle Synapse problems which is causing an issue with dev flow.
Onboarding documents were a little out of date, but will be updated.
Action Items:
Ann to work with Ryan and Kevin regarding Synapse escalations -
MAC - I have followed up with Ryan and we will be investigating the correct escalation process and documenting it so that this doesn’t keep happening.
Alx is also no longer listed as the team manager in Synapse so all questions do not go to him for basic management.

Demo presentations on MTB meeting and received very positive feedback

We need to get better about getting things deployed quickly they have been sitting for weeks and weeks.
Estimating and Story pointing.
Getting Specs and Jira updated (Need to get better stories and documentation together that show upcoming work
Teams are asking for results but we are not getting enough upfront information or there is an expectation that a hallway convo becomes a requirement on the roadmap. We need to define, document and publish a roadmap and let people know where to look for it.
Proposed intake process around all projects on bridge team and get clear requirements etc
Need to do a better job with communicating expectations from stakeholders and to them as well.
Action Items:
Create project intake process (Ann)
