2021-05-12 Retrospective

Background

Retrospective on how

• the product is progressing

• the team is working together

Luca

Luca has been working on design and is pleased with progress.

Requirements analysis is difficult and the process needs to be better defined for him to learn actual user requirements

A quick prototype would be good to be shown to the user for validation, prior to actual development

Design settings should be correct as far as possible to mitigate redevelopment costs at a later date

UI Design should be as collaborative as possible

Possible that developers will be able to take the design straight from Miro board - it has to be well documented

Users to speak to - initially Manchester, followed by broader user base.

Need to work bit by bit on requirements with more granularity

Colours, usability, behaviour, looks all need to be made aware to the wider audience for processing and validation early on, including Mike Powell who could analyse it and get thoughts from other users.

Steve

Steve glad to be moving on with 50%/50% time split between Adam and Luca for user stories and design requirements respectively.

Looking forward to

• what if…. scenarios

• acceptance criteria

• joining functionality and design of back end / front end communications

Adam

Started off very stormy

Communication has improved

We’re playing catchup because if the UX requirement being added rather late in the process

Luca is doing 2 tracks simultaneously; getting requirements and doing design work

Need to watch the following

General communication

Allowing Luca to get on with the job and contact people as required

Development and how it’s progressing with the user stories presented

Meetings planned

2/3 hours on MIRO

1 hour call with Luca/Adam/Steve to check progress

James

Glad to see things are falling into place

There is a good understanding of the system, however unsure about how detailed user requirements are and therefore what level of granularity can be given to the developers at this stage.

Glad that Dmitry and Luca are working together

Resources to be put in place asap

• 2 more developers having bias towards FE or BE but both probably full stack,

• UI designer

• QA
