Summary of the retro

After a short welcome we introduced the agenda:

We shortly talked about the vegas rule and the prime directive.

Prime directive

We opened the retrospective with some explanation how the the Neos retrospectives work.

After that we had a look at all ToDos from last retro and found out that we took care of most of them. We did not think so before we actually checked - so this was a surprise.

After that we checked the timeline of things happening since the last retrospective in November 2017.
We found out, that really many things were going on and that we achieved pretty much. Mainly we were pretty happy that we finally managed to get the activity issue in the teams clear and working and that the continuous integration works pretty well.

Color code for the timeline:

  • Red: Meetups
  • Turquoise: Releases
  • Purple: New team members
  • Spring green: Sprints

After that we had a short explanation on how fishbowls and 1-2-4-All functions.

  • UI (7)
  • Community & Onboarding (7)
  • Framework war (6)
