Other Team Business

Quarterly Review slides
- Greg has a draft at https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1eDjnXFBZ8Gzam1Xr57dro0sQEkv_EtBOTi8LnqIBVtw/edit#slide=id.g167a1185f5_4_23
- Note: Those slides only cover the past, eg Q4. Kevin Smith will be creating the slides for the future (Q1) in a different format (Annual Program-centered, intead of team-centered)
- Things to review/update:
  - the status of any Q4 goal
  - the list of "other successes"
  - if you know of any good metrics to include in the "workflows" slide I'm all ears, maybe (SWAT) deploys done? something else?
