Previous Action Items

 * Max to shorten retro by 15 min (DONE)

What in the team's process is going well?
 * Max to archive retro (DONE)
 * Still getting things done (impressive given the number and diversity of things we do)

What in the team's process could be improved?
 * The only person I am currently working with (Ramsey) is very responsive
 * Pam to chat about expectations around design process/dialogue


 * I got a bit bogged down in code review last week ... not exactly clear to me how I'm supposed to deal with code review requests from other teams


 * Looking forward to getting more feedback on designs as we work out our process


 * On the product side, we're still improving how we decide on the big picture direction (not really our team's fault, but I think there is opportunity for us to be more proactive)

What in the team's process is confusing?
 * Should we talk about QA backlog (as Max brought up in standup)? (addressed)
 * We're good!

Action Items
 * Nothing is confusing... just the figuring out of how everything works, collaboration-wise, is taking time
 * Ramsey to document Product-->Design-->Eng pipeline and share


 * Max to set up a recurring meeting for devs to hash out design feedback with Pam

Parking Lot
 * Ramsey to archive this retro
 * What direction should we be going with Commons and SDoC?
