TripleO/TripleOCloud/MVP1and2Retrospective

This is a summary of the retrospective we did for MVP's 1 and two.

What went well

  • Learned that the tools we've built work as expected on a realnetwork
  • Fixed a bunch of key issues that were breaking things, including making the release of Havana nova-bm better
  • Handled firedrills well: fixed quickly, and we all helped out
  • Delivered quickly, immensely cool after one week to have a usable cloud any TripleO ATC can use, deployed with our tooling.
  • Learnt (and tweaked things) to be more continuous in own development - handing things off, communicating across sunsets, helping out on patches to stop them stalling.

What went poorly

  • we regressed devtest a couple of times
  • toci showed the failures but was ignored
  • lack of clarity around where to report toci issues
  • lack of docs around debugging toci issues
  • things stalled when we had a big backlog of reviews - peaked at about 20 - *just* for the CD overcloud.

What will we change

  • We should communicate firedrills much more vigorously:
 * TripleO folk should add a Firedrill card when a firedrill happens
 * Set the IRC channel topic too
 * Possibly send an email.
  • Reviews for the overcloud can be +2'd by the author (if they are -core), retaining 2x +2, but not insisting that the +2's both be distinct from the author. We'll review this in a week and see how it went / if it's still needed.
