Process Improvements
Team ILL Sprint 13 retrospective:
1) Designate Component Leads: Chongsun=fulfillment; Nick=UI; Josh=platform/architecture/tooling; Brandon=requisition; Josh=referencedata. These component leads will help to groom the tickets in that component, always working with the Architect and Product Owner. We will add components and leads in JIRA, and tell SolDevelo so our component lead is a go-to person and they might name component leads on their side that we collaborate with. Then later we should clean up some old components from JIRA; and talk with Mary Jo Kochendorfer (Deactivated) about epics, components, process.
2) Don't let tickets roll over; take on a feasible amount of points for sprint 14. Brandon will crunch a few numbers and post guidance on the Backlog Grooming Sprint 14 page.
3) Stop using sub-tasks. Basically use them much less, and only where appropriate. If it's work that happens in parallel, make parallel tasks. If it's step-by-step work done in sequence by one person (not in parallel) just put it in one ticket. If it is UI and API work (or any work that happens on separate components by separate people), then make separate tasks so the parts go through QA and review separately. This might be a bit of extra work to connect related tickets and mark which are blockers, but it also gets rid of the complexities of sub-tasks (like all rolling over to a next sprint if one sub-task is not done).

Velocity
Team ILL completed 28 story points. Teams AYIC/ToP completed 124 story points. This was a slight slow-down from the previous two sprints. Let's discuss this during retrospectives. Team ILL is also going to do an exercise to review the scope for 3.0 in case any adjustments are needed.
