Mobile Web Retrospective, 18 February 2014

What's been working well?

 * Making decisions with other teams, progress in discussions
 * I personally have a clearer idea of our product direction
 * Triaging bugs (even after Mingle upgrade)

What hasn't been working well?

 * Drop in velocity (but maybe it's just that we're focused on different things than just adding features)
 * Not sure about the way we handle the Ready for signoff column++++
 * Doing VE work without having to significantly modify or hack around VE
 * Me [Max] working separately from others++++

What still puzzles us?

 * Old phones+++

Discussion
Resolved - set email notifications for product/design when something moves into 'ready for signoff', responsibility on kenan's shoulder to keep the cards moving and to pull someone in to help test when needed [Arthur] Resolved: Kenan to poke analytics team to get us some kind of data by April 1; we will sit down with Zero/Analytics/other stakeholders around Q4 planning [Kenan/Arthur]
 * Not sure about the way we handle the Ready for signoff column++++
 * email notifications to kenan when something goes into ready for signoff?
 * Step feels redundant - maybe an issue of trust?
 * relax the process somehow -
 * not alawys easy for kenan to test on his own
 * Me [Max] working separately from others++++
 * Short term: folks willing to pair with max on backend oriented stuff, during planning meetings, we will define some backend tasks and keep them on the story wall to encourage more visibility and pairing with Max [Max/Arthur]
 * Longer term: when Max moves to SF, pair with FE folks to get more comfortable with FE work [Juliusz]
 * Old phones+++
 * What devices do we actually support? Existing docs are fragmented and likely out of date
 * Analytics crunchning numbers on browser stats, but not done - when will they be?
