Background

We put a new design handoff process into place between DXT and the developers.

In this retro we went over how that process flow is working so far. It’s been a little over 6 months that the process has been in place.

Retrospective

Stop doing

Keep doing

  • need to be made aware of when designs are going live so DXT can make adjustments on our end

  • possibly manually keep up with tickets going live if there isn’t some sort of automation of letting DXT know when these are going out

  • need organized way to submit requests

  • include design decisions/changes that happen on Jira ticket when links to designs/prototypes are being handed off

  • Most processes were looking great

  • when someone new does not have access to software or is new to a process, help onboard them and catch them up to speed

Action items

talk with scrum masters about where we could fit into the flow for testing before/after launch
need to find out if we need to separate work on large canvas and tie to specific tickets better, was this skipped or not needed
create form for work requests @Rachael Mink
some documents are not visible to others, update restrictions @Rachael Mink
