What are we doing that we should keep doing?

• Launch process/communication seems to be working! We're catching things before launch, and then fixing things quickly after. Good communication seems to be helping, both on tickets and in chat.

• • +1

• • @mentions are good, plus chat pings, esp with time zones

• We just rolled another thing out right after a huge release like it was nbd ^_^

• • celebrate?

• Talking to each other, should probably do that more

• Adding teammates who help prod team communications

What are we doing that we should stop doing?

What aren't we doing that we should we start doing?

• the main workboard/milestones could do with more regular cleanup I think - lots of things in QA and Verify on Production

• • Which? Current Work

• • There is reason for this (I left it that way on purpose)

• • • and the purpose is? we will talk about that when we get to this item ^_^

• Breaking tix into stuff to do and stuff to test?

• Go back to meet for its new Brady Bunch video feature?

• Even more better attention to who is responsible for (manual) testing, and when?

• Making sure we've said who we are in the etherpad so we know who wrote what :P
