What in the team's process could be improved?

• More regular updating of design/spec tickets

• Be more consistent with where to find/share links to designs

• I need externally-understandable epics

• I'm kinda worried that our entire process depends on talking, and in particular hinges on Ramsey ... perhaps someday he *will* get sick, and then what?

What in the team's process is confusing?

• The working board doesn't match Ramsey's workflow diagram

Action Items

• Someone (JAMES!) volunteers to see if Retro/Design-dev review can be moved from 1 Thursday to allow attendance of the Staff Community Time meeting

• At some point, when things cool down, we return to forward-thinking documentation and processes. (things may never cool down, so we need to figure out how to deal with the craziness)

• Attempt to Sort/categorize tickets based on user story or improvement story or XXX story.

• *Try* to use part of Task Planning/Backlog Grooming on Monday to start this process
