Wed Lecture: Retrospectives
- Start by having everyone take 5 minutes to read through this article: https://ucsb-cs156.github.io/topics/agile_retros/
- Really read it! It has the instructions for the most important activity in today’s class
- Next, choose a leader for your retro. It should be someone that has read the instructions and is comfortable leading the group.
- Then, locate the Google Drive folder that you used last Wednesday:
It will look like this (upper left corner where it says “pinned posts”. Otherwise you can search for some of the text, e.g. In preparation for lecture on Wednesday, a small clerical task: Please check that you:
In that folder, create a folder called Retros and in that folder, create a document Retro01-02-09-2022
Then follow the instructions in the https://ucsb-cs156.github.io/topics/agile_retros/ article for Stop/Start/Continue retro.
In the document, write down who your retro leader is.
At the end of the process, you should have in your document:
- Name of person leading the retro at the top, and a list of who participated
- A document with three parts, “stop/start/continue”, and items from each member under the three categories
- Dot voting (three votes per team member participating) on the items in the document.
- A summary at the bottom on an “experiment” in the form “If we change X we hope to see Y result”
- This should be related to one of the top three items by votes that your group agreed on.
- A brief explanation of how you will know whether your experiment was or was not a success.
After the retro is done, you can:
- do a standup and more work on team02 if you need that
- start looking over the articles on MongoDB linked to here:
If you finish in the meantime, here are three articles you can read that help you to prepare for upcoming assignments; they are all about MongoDB:
