• Jest is quite an overhead (especially in comparison to Cypress)

Machine learning
Applications for TIS:

• How Trainees filling in forms - better pre-population

• PPT

• Others?

Applications for HEE:

• Ability to predict which placements are likely to be unsuccessful (based on past experience and other things that can be drawn about them / their history) with a view to targeting additional support. Placements with high withdrawal rates, for example.

PowerPoint presentation style

• For meetings where one or few people hold knowledge that they’re trying to share with others. Store the recording and the documents [wherever we decide to centralize our material]

Informal slack call with mobbing

• For meetings (usually Tech Sharings) where the team (or part of the team) comes together to analyze a problem that requires input from various team members.

• The mobbing of a ticket could be a good example

• Remember to record any knowledge gained where appropriate (Confluence pages, Dev Handbook, READMEs etc.)

Ask Me Anything slack call

• For meetings where one or few people hold knowledge that they’re trying to share with others, but putting together a presentation may be impossible (time restriction, vastity of the topic etc.).

About Me MS Teams call

• A presentation a team member holds about their personal history to make everyone get to know them better.
