Retro Points
Some things to think about:
What did we do well, that if we don’t discuss we might forget?
What did we learn?
What should we do differently next time?
What still puzzles us?
Which tools or techniques proved to be useful? Which not?
What is our biggest impediment?
If we could change 1 thing, what would it be?
What caused the problems that we had recently?
Which things went smoothly? Which didn’t?

Call outs
Discussion Notes:
Retros will now stay to be every 4 weeks but will now be for only 1 hour
Discussions shall be only about 'things we can control in the team'
Team reshuffling will be epic-based
Code structure will now be 'feature based'
This should be noted on grooming of user stories
Code reviewers should also review where code is placed
On accepting bugs, there shall be no exceptions on any items that needs to be provided before work is started on it (i.e. steps to reproduced should not be missed)
Keep everyone in team on loop on grooming, proposals and reviews regardless if they're working on the story or not (example. cm notification subscription missed to discuss points with other team that are not working on the epic story which led to not having a 'third eye' on the design)
Next Retro Date:
Jul 30, 2024
