WINTER 2022 RETROSPECT
If we want to start doing in person meetings, the team lead should look to start booking meeting rooms
Bay meeting schedule posted in bay - occasionally meetings will be held in the bay
Need better planning and tinkering for in person meetings
Emphasize on testing
Better design review processes - have a better format for communicating design intent and review goals so people know what to focus on and where to look
Better cross team communication
Strong scope definition for project (scope, goals, whos involved, everything that needs to be considered)
SUMMER 2022 DIRECTIVES
Bay cleanup / declutter
Stock and hardware and misc component organization on mechanical
Determining what is trash, disposing accordingly
Recruitment goals (?)
Better general meetings and cross team communication - biweekly drop in for leads and “team demos” for leads
more transparent communications
