mk - ArcGIS Server complex. Services need to be published in consistent manner

 

Quarterly planning was good

mk - gaps in product scope coming home

 

 

[DJ] Security requirements looming large. Scary….

 

 

[AH] So many things need to be rolled over to next sprint

 

 

VWM - How long this QA is taking

 

 

[AH] It’s not that we can’t start or do SA network migration it’s not a technical challenge, but I’m still explaining why we can’t set a start date due to external factors… what is wrong with the “method” for socializing that?

 

 

[DJ] Needing to second-guess stakeholder requirements / expectations - deliver product and hope that it’s close

 

 

[DJ] Definition of “Done-Done-Done…-Done”?

SA maps - keep putting stuff in there to make our nice new maps look like their old bad maps

 

 

[AH] Meeting with VicRoads Zita… then another ~1 week later and the scope was nowhere near what we discussed. MUCH bigger

 

 

[AH] PT’s really struggled to get to past UAT, and really struggled to get to prod, Low-Loaders found issues in UAT, Tooley broke really not good.
