Ritu was very helpful with resolving any issues I found with APIs quickly." "Primary User","What didn't go well in this release?","Difficulty maintaining a proper development environment in parallel with one for dev testing for the teams unified experience meant that I did not have time to finish dev/ux review work satisfactorily before the branch cut. The result was having to work in a compromised way and under time pressure late in the day. I was under the impression that if a feature was not ready we were not going to push for it to be in."

Already had an overview of the features we were going to implement in this release as these were discussed previously." "Primary User","What went well in this release?","I think the inter-team dependencies were handled pretty nicely in this release. The data APIs to be consumed by apps were ready even before the release started (thanks to Seshan) and we were able to deliver the APIs to be consumed by UI before end of Sprint 3. The bug bash sessions were again very successful and helped us to catch a lot of bugs and fix them in the dev cycle itself. Also, great idea by Ritu to use Slack Posts feature for creating E2E testing docs for various features which can be edited by everyone." "Primary User","Were the requirements clear at the time you picked up your tasks?","Mostly clear" "Primary User","What went well in this release?","1. We could completed dev testing for most of the features and fixed most of them fixed also that are being delivered in 0.9.9. 2. Lesser # of major bugs in dev testing 3. Two features in iFrame being worked on by 2 devs in Parallel. 4. zero merge conflicts when merging main to develop in 0.9.9" "Primary User","To improve our execution what should we add?","One of things we identified this release was slack post which can be edited by multiple people in the team. This is a good way to collaborate/track list of live items which are light weight and don't need jira/wiki. (Thanks Ritu for finding this option)."

Most of the features tested before branch cut. Our UI fit and finish and overall quality improved significantly compared to few old releases." "Primary User","What didn't go well in this release?","We started discussing improved error handling for our customer onboarding but only a little progress in overall improvement. We must invest more time in this to enable anyone to do onboarding without going through a very complex wiki page of steps with lots of if conditions." "Primary User","To improve our execution what should we add?","Most of the time, we face issues with feature builds deployed in INT. If multiple developers need to work on the same service, that is even more complicated. We need to start planning a better solution to accommodate this internal requirement. Until then, we need to follow the best practices like keep rebasing and changing the builds after testing is done etc." "Primary User","To improve our execution what should we DROP?","We must eliminate manual steps as much as possible in all places, specifically deployments and onboarding. For the data team, we need to automate the Druid schema management. Every time there is a schema change, deployment is not going smoothly due to this manual step."
