What in the team's process is going well?

What in the team's process could be improved?

• Pam to chat about expectations around design process/dialogue

• I got a bit bogged down in code review last week ... not exactly clear to me how I'm supposed to deal with code review requests from other teams

• Looking forward to getting more feedback on designs as we work out our process

• On the product side, we're still improving how we decide on the big picture direction (not really our team's fault, but I think there is opportunity for us to be more proactive)

• Should we talk about QA backlog (as Max brought up in standup)? (addressed)

What in the team's process is confusing?

• We're good!

• Nothing is confusing... just the figuring out of how everything works, collaboration-wise, is taking time

Action Items

• Ramsey to document Product-->Design-->Eng pipeline and share

• Max to set up a recurring meeting for devs to hash out design feedback with Pam

Parking Lot
