Items from last retrospective:

Burndown chart

  • Discussed elsewhere (as item in current sprint below)

Supporting instruments (new starters)

  • Keep taking them to the experiment halls to gain experience

IBEX Training course

  • Good idea for all new starters in group, as well as new scientists/support technicians

  • Run two courses? e.g. one for ExptCtrls team members and one for scientists

Items from this retrospective:

Burndown chart reflecting BAU (now using actual work ratios: IBEX to BAU).

  • agree to keep with this as seems to reflect previous sprint productivity reasonably accurately

Delegating other IBEX project management tasks

  • e.g. SE devices project representative and manage group’s resulting work

  • Action for group to think about which tasks they’d like to take responsibility for. Can discuss at next retrospective

  • Need place to put list of tasks so that people can take them on (e.g. Teams form, tick boxes on ticket/wiki, Outlook task list on ExptCtrls calendar)

ES asked about reinstating the office screen to display build status etc.

  • Need to ask CMS about previous control machine or a replacement

Winter meal out

  • Discussed and that someone (usually a new graduate) should volunteer soon.

A group activity of some kind would be beneficial and enjoyable.

  • ES suggested a visit to CCFE for a tour and then invite them to ISIS in return.
