# Vortex Retro 2019-08-28

[Previous][previous] / [Next][next] Retro

## What is Going Well?

- We finished most stories in our sprint! [ms]

## What Could Be Improved?

- Having a PO in the meetings would save a lot of time.  Too much time is spent flushing out stories when we need to start dev-ing shortly after. [ms]
- Review/edit/delete all of Matt's stories/bugs prior to sprint planning [nc]
- Increased support for development/demo mode [kc]

## What Do We Need to Discuss?

- Epic driven priorities.  Are these still the best represention of top priorities? [ms]
- Planning Meeting: max story discussion should be 5 minutes, if taking longer, remove story from sprint till details can be relayed. [kc]
- Create utility to send adhoc backend error messages (similar to device shutdown) [nc]

## Actions

- **Ongoing** Tweak/Add any steps to reproduce or test as developers finish stories. [dev team]
- **Ongoing** Add verification tasks for all stories at beginning of sprint [lm, em]
- **Ongoing** Action Item review meeting mid-sprint. [all]
- **Longstanding** Auto linking between Jira and Github, possibly replacing tags in title [lm]
- **Longstanding** - Add subtask in stories with “Needs DB reset” [dev team]
- **Longstanding** - Add Green build statuses to PRs [lm]
- **Longstanding** - Upgrade Github to current release [lm]
