What went well this term :

  • Most of the projects outlined are in the testing phase or have been completed.
  • Lots of learning/knowledge transfer.
  • Recruited a fair amount of new FW members.

What didn’t go well/could be improved :

  • learning curve was an issue in the beginning
  • not much planning for MSIV was done this term
  • we need to get better at asking the right questions in order to solve issues at a faster rate.
