Android[edit]

Previous Retrospective Actions[edit]

  • [DMITRY] Populate (roughly) sprint 86 DONE
  • [MICHAEL] Ask James F about misbehaving templates PUNT

Significant Events[edit]

  • Wikimania

Loved[edit]

  • We came really close to finishing the feeds by the end of the quarter.
  • Sprint was well-scoped. Thoughts?
  • Wikimania
  • Ton of work done on Feed this sprint
  • Blasted the hell out of the feed.+

Lacked[edit]

  • Consistency with sprint planning
  • Consistency with using #Unplanned-Sprint-Work
  • Do we need a more formalized SLA of sorts for the content service endpoints? (Answer might be no.)
  • Automated testing. CI is fully busted now.
  • User research.

Learned[edit]

  • We're sharing production machines with memory intensive services, like ORES.+lol +

Longed for[edit]

  • Knowing what caused us to miss the feeds MVP by the end of the quarter. Estimation? Scope change? Bumps?
  • Pointing tasks as a team before committing to work on them/pulling them into the sprint.


Action Items[edit]

  • [MICHAEL] Ask James F about misbehaving templates
  • [BERND] Measure requests to service endpoints. Are any endpoints getting significant use by non-Android app (or content service (testing)) User-Agents, so that we don't turn off services in use? Check with Services/Analytics teams?
