May 2022 Sprint Retrospective


Training Team works in monthly sprints. At the end of each sprint, we ask ourselves the following questions. Below is a compilation of the responses from the team following the retrospective discussions held in the #training Slack channel:

What went well?

  • Items related to the release that we worked on and improved planning and joint working.
  • Tracking issues across Github from the source in Gutenberg repo.
  • Launch of the Faculty Program.
  • Interaction between meetings and so many new faces are joining us.

What could we improve?

  • Finish the GitHub automation/actions to be more clear about what contributors can do.
  • Contribute to quarterly goals at least as much as release-related initiatives.
  • Call for Content Creation.
  • Fast track the content review and publish it soon, what we decided earlier in 2-3 weeks.

What will we do differently?

  • Start tracking Gutenberg issues that impact revisions this week.
  • Releases are not stacked right against an international WordCamp with all the prep for it. And contributor days right after release.
  • Organize a virtual zoom call (contributor day) of 2-3 hours, to kick off the review and publish content part. And audit previous content for the latest release.
