Preparing Sub-team Retrospectives

@Suzanne Reller

Review:

Considerations for the End of Term

• Sub-team Leads/Vice Leads will present retrospectives at our June 25th meeting. If your sub-team does not have a meeting planned before our next UAC meeting, consider scheduling a meeting.

• It’s ok if your retrospective is still in progress, but it should be finished by the end of June (just a few days after our June meeting!).

• Retrospectives are for everyone, not just the sub-team lead!

• The most generalized advice is to consider what to keep going, what to stop doing, and what to start doing.

• You can use your sub-team’s retrospective from last year as a template:

  • 2022-2023 Dev Pri Retrospective

  • 2022-2023 Testing Retrospective

  • Member Engagement 2022-2023 Retrospective

  • 2022-2023 Usability Retrospective

  • User Documentation Sub-team 2022-2023 Retrospective

Yearly Timeline of Council Activities

• Be aware of ownership: Tasks, Tickets, and Google Docs

• Review and appraise your Google Drive folders

• Term transition: Council activities slow over the summer but do not stop. Watch for emails for scheduling meetings or contributing to reports. In particular incoming sub-team leads will be receiving emails about new members.
