Wikimedia Apps/imported/Retrospective-April 3 2014

= Worked Well =


 * Some effort in forwarding emails to mobile-tech/-l
 * Communication has been moving to mobile-l more of late, hopefully we can keep that up :)
 * More alpha testers yay! More regular releases on Android. Soon more people making releases.
 * Adam helping out with CR a bit was cool +1
 * Adam helpful on iOS code review as well
 * Hiring - We're very close to hiring more android app engineers +1!

= Worked Poorly =


 * Slow to move cards from sign off column(+1)
 * Took a bit of time to get the builds. [Brion+Yuvi will follow up]* Kenan can't get the Android alpha download to work +May too
 * Unsure about value of Sign off column, atm seems to be a rush of paperworky process stuff on fridays and mondays @
 * Poor communications about decision-making lately (+1? more so for remote?)
 * We haven't been doing any user testing to validate underlying issues that we planned on doing months ago @
 * Kenan can't get the Android alpha download to work +May too
 * Too many meetings, I think. Perhaps experiment with longer sprints to reduce overhead? Start with async default? +1 @

= Confuses Us =


 * Planning meeting was confusing
 * Unsure about having weekly design refinement meetings, perhaps bi-weekly, or Trello uploads? +1 +1 I'd also like to see it be more asynchronous, so I don't end up having a zombie meeting about design.

= Action items =
 * Ensure everyone knows mobile-l is public, -tech is private. "Public by default" :)

= Previous Action Items =


 * sign-off availability (+1)++ [kenan]
 * Not enough people looking at the app (and doubly so for Android?) (++++)+++ [kenan]
 * experiment with bug-report built in feature on ios [mhurd]
 * Not enough comments and discussion on the design trello board+++ [team]
 * tried to give moiz the link for release but it didn't seem to work for him
