Team Discussions

edit
  • Sandeep is here!
    • You know what that means! 2 truths and a lie!
      • Each participant makes three statements about themselvesβ€”two true and one untrue. Other group members try to identify the falsehood.

GitLab stuff

edit
  • We're making it work, but the things we're doing speaks to technical deficencies
    • GerritLab
    • Zuul
      • User interface here may be unpleasant
      • GitLab labels are a little weird upstream, too
    • Multiple reviewersβ€”we have no fix for this
      • Well, we could patch hack this one in specifically, right? But it feels kind of weird.
    • Being able to add reviewers who are not a member of the project.
    • Still don't have feedback from folks who've said they can't use GitLab

OKR update

edit

The six questions I answer week-by-week about our work. This is pretty much all CTPO/VP/Director-types see for what we're doing. If there are specific things to call out here, let's do.

Progress update on the hypothesis for the week

Any new metrics related to the hypothesis

Any emerging blockers or risks

Any unresolved dependencies - do you depend on another team that hasn’t already given you what you need?

Are you on the hook to give another team something you aren’t able to give right now?

Have there been any new learnings from the hypothesis?

Are you working on anything else outside of this hypothesis? If so, what?
