Retrospectives Sprint 3


Its not a great start to the new semester. I feel somehow I need to improve moral which will become my biggest priorty

Sprint 3
2/26/2013
Bad
  • Getting to class on time!!!!
  • Transparency
    • Wayne needs to be included on all late or absence emails
  • Morale is Bad
    • Tech is very negative
  • Slow Progression
  • Focus
  • Meta Communication
    • Art voice meetings still not happening
  • Missed Milestone - No Game Day :(
  • Keep blogs updated and turn them in when asked
  • Did not show build enough
  • Team needs Deadlines


Good
  • Feature team communication
  • Environment team did well
  • Quality of work
  • Character team did well
  • AI Team has a direction finally
  • Build to show
  • Feature Team Teamwork
  • Character team spends good amount of time outside of class working
How to Improve
  • 20 mins late without communication, marked absent
  • If you are communicated to about lateness or absence, make sure you tell Wayne right away
  • If at all possible, contact Wayne directly that you will be late
  • Everyone should use Trello
  • When back in class, give SoS recap, at least about the standup
  • Meet before and after SoS
  • Show build more
  • Use more of class time towards work, less Youtube, less Reddit, less Facebook
  • Declare Impediments Immediately
  • Do good things together, but after class
  • Scrum Master, Product Owner, and/or Leads should be checking on teams and making sure they are working and no impediments
  • Art meta team needs to have a voice meeting
  • Team needs to take meeting notes and put them on the forums in Team News
  • Update blogs weekly

Sword Party!!

Victory is mine, 6 hrs of work. Awesome Pirates Blade made in Cryengine. Getting the flames to come off the blade right was the hardest part. Crytek never really explains what is going on there but I got it :D
