Harmony Hackathon Retrospective Notes

In case my handwritting is unintelligible.

Worked
• Justin stepping up to be the customer rep.
• Liked the environment/facilities
     same room
• No negative interactions
• New phrases
• Good/committed product owner
• "C# is better than Java" -Scott
• Good learning experience
• Made the product owner think about the workflow, rethink the process
• Demoing often
• Having a central place to demo

Didn't
• Backbone derailment
     (communication problem?)
• Needed a skeleton/starter kit
• Not much to do @ first
     a smaller group for a new project (4~5)
     a larger group for adding features to an existing project
• Needing a benevolent dictator
• Conflict between getting an understanding of the problem & solving the problem
• Didn't solve the file backup project
• Needed more formality
     timebox
     actually standing up
• Loving the CRUD
• Very painful to watch the rubber band effect
• Didn't do it the way we KNOW we should have

We also thought we should have had a time-lapse camera.
