Reading/Web/Chore list

Checklist
The checklist can be considered to be in priority order. Do not worry if the whole checklist is not completed.

Check if browser tests are failing

 * Are there any browser test failures?
 * If so, has the issue has recurred for at least 2 builds?
 * If so, is there a bug open?
 * Is the bug a deployment blocker?
 * Note: If a branch cut is about to happen or happening (Monday/Tuesday) extra care is needed in this checklist item.
 * Find "Blockers:" in https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Deployments#Near-term to identify the Phabricator task for deployment blockers and add as a subtask if necessary.

Review the Web Dashboard
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/dashboard/view/125/
 * Are there tasks in the Triage section that need to be tagged with the backlog?
 * Are there tasks that need to be escalated to "Unbreak Now!" status and pulled into the sprint?

Review the current sprint

 * Are there tasks in "Needs Analysis" that need discussion or estimation with the team?
 * Is there unplanned sprint work?
 * Are there any tasks that still need the Unplanned Sprint Work tag?

Review the next sprint (Reading Web Backlog Upcoming column)

 * Review the cards currently lined up for Upcoming.
 * Is anything not clear in the description of the card?
 * Is there information missing?
 * Are there assets missing?
 * If you were to work on the task right now would you be able to?
 * Add comments with those questions and move to the needs analysis column of the web dashboard.
 * Feel free to add a reassuring token if you want to note that the card is looking in good shape :-)

Check the performance dashboards (devs only)

 * Take a look at the mobile performance dashboard and consider:
 * Is there anything suspicious about the beta cluster in comparison to production?
 * If so, then does it correlate with other performance dashboards based on Real User Monitoring (RUM), e.g. https://grafana.wikimedia.org/dashboard/db/navigation-timing.
 * Are there any obviously related entries in the Server Admin Log?
 * Do the same for the Page Previews Perf dashboard.

Check the logs (devs only)

 * Take a look at the Logstash dashboard. Is there a log entry that's new and trending or indicative of a breakage?

Check if there are patches from volunteers

 * One place to look may be "Tasks you can help us review" in the Web Dashboard.
 * Escalate to team code review etc. as necessary.

Review the Reading Web Backlog
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/reading-web-backlog/
 * Are there any tasks assigned to you in the "Needs Analysis" column? Can you do anything now to help them become actionable?
 * Are there tasks in "To Triage" that need priorities and/or can be moved to "Needs Analysis" or "Tracking"?
 * Are there hidden Priority=Low/Lowest tasks in the "To Triage" column? (Tip: use the filter link on the lefthand menu of the board).
 * Are there tasks in "Needs Analysis" that can be moved along? Even one or two can make a dent in grooming. :)
 * As part of grooming Needs Analysis, assign a team member to the tasks that require their attention, and attend to those tasks with your username attached.
 * Are there tasks that haven't been poked (old) in a while? Poke them!

Admin

 * Check if meetings are scheduled for days off in the current week.
 * If so, notify the team so that they can adjust accordingly.

Order

 * 1) Sam
 * 2) Olga
 * 3) Piotr
 * 4) Jon R
 * 5) Baha
 * 6) Joaquin
 * 7) Nirzar

Everyone chips in on Fridays.

Status Update
The team member responsible for their time frame should email their progress via the daily standup email threads.
