Discovery/Checkin meeting minutes/2015-10-13

= Topics from the past =
 * Quick retrospective on Gerrit Cleanup Day?
 * Not much for Discovery to work through, so not much direct benefit to us
 * Erik got good work done in core; good for org overall
 * Unclear how to prioritize our team vs. backlog items
 * Still getting a couple emails a week on issues raised during cleanup day (which is a good thing)
 * Trey learned about other parts of the codebase
 * Not much for data analysts to do (unclear if more cross-department communication would have helped)
 * Tangential takeaway: We should be interacting more with the community
 * These notes were posted as a comment at https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T113378

= Announcements, Information, Questions =
 * Hiring in progress (ops, relevance, product manager, op manager later)
 * Jan (front end) starts Monday

=Scrum of Scrums=
 * Anything from SoS that we should be aware of?

 * https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T114694 - waiting for scap3 deployment
 * Blocking
 * Are we blocking? https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/blocked-on-search/

= Quick Quarterly Goals/KPI Update =
 * Q1 goals results
 * Q2 goals intro/refresher
 * Satisfaction
 * We don’t really have what we need (a model of actual satisfaction), and won’t for a while
 * Our metrics are the best possible for now
 * Getting 4 responses per day (which is kind of our upper limit at our current subscription plan)
 * Term “user satisfaction” is broad/vague. We should figure out what we really want.
 * Current portal survey is not targeted at search results (respondents are replying on other topics)
 * Should we take a big role in developing the free survey tool?
 * Tasking in analysis don’t feel like Q2 tasks yet (more reactive)
 * We discussed this a bit more in the analysis planning meeting, and Oliver will send an email with ideas

= FYI =
 * Next Discovery retrospective: Oct 14 (note unusual day/time!)
 * Next Discovery showcase: Oct 19
