2021/2: Q2 | Review#5 (2021-08-17 to 2021-08-31)

Welcome

Overviews of the iteration
Any interruptions / Live Defects
Team going through what they’ve achieved during the iteration
Feedback from those on the call on what we have done (constructive criticism / praise / questions)
Collaboration with those on the call on what to do next
Ask questions:

- out loud on the call - really, we’d appreciate you doing this!;
- write in the Team meeting chat; or
- fill in the post-Review survey after the call
(for questions that occur after the call is over, or if you don’t want to ask the question during the call for whatever reason, and
for letting us know whether the Review meets your expectations, or whether you have some suggestions for improvement)

Dev team demo 'done' work contributing to those goals (no reference to specific Jira tickets, and no reference to work not 'done')

Area	Description	Team Representative	Demo - from Prod URL where feasible

Area	Description	Team Representative	Demo - from Prod URL where feasible
TISSS	Create new user groups that support TOTP MFA (our new approach to enhancing security on TISSS)	@Steven Howard
TISSS
Reval	“Edit Recommendation” bug	@Cai Willis	When editing a recommendation, the UI wouldn’t render properly and the buttons on the page became inoperable. This happened when there were no comments attached to a particular recommendation Extra functionality was added to account for this situation
	Datepicker format quick fix	@Cai Willis	When using the text input of the datepicker, it enforces a US date format despite our localization settings. We have implemented a short-term fix, disabling the text input and making the datepicker icon more obvious, and created a ticket for the long term fix (which is unfortunately fairly involved)
	Recommendation submission was not working due to incorrect RO details	@Jayanta Saha	Live Demo
	Link from TIS to new Reval	@Doris.Wong	Live Demo
TIS	Academic Outcome not displayed for some trainee’s assessments	@Andy Dingley	If a trainee had multiple academic curriculum the academic outcome field would be displayed as blank if any of the curriculum start/end dates did not overlap with the programme start/end dates. The logic has been corrected so the academic outcome is displayed correct if any curriculum overlap, rather than required that all curriculum overlapped.
TIS
ESR	Improved resilience of ESR message processing	@Marcello Fabbri (Unlicensed) @Reuben Roberts	Previously, if the central TCS system was down, or otherwise unavailable for a period of time, any ESR messages received during that period could fail to be processed. These would then have to be reviewed and reprocessed manually. We have now improved the ability of the ESR components to handle TCS being unavailable, by automatically retrying these messages, so they are processed when TCS recovers (as shown in red in the image below).

Objective Key Results (OKRs) 2021/22 Q2:

OKR	1st Iteration	2nd Iteration	3rd Iteration	4th Iteration	5th Iteration	6th Iteration	7th Iteration
Objective: Solve MFA and prepare for the second live pilot
Key Result#1: Run an experiment with existing pilot Trainees on using an Authenticator App. Get sufficient feedback to develop it into a solution for the next pilot.	Too early to score	0.1	0.5	0.6	0.6
Key Result#2: Coordinate Prepare for a 2nd pilot (confirm with teams running ARCPs - ask monthly. Any number would be insightful, ideally between 30-50).	Too early to score	0.1	0.1	0.2	0.3
Key Result#3: Run the 2nd pilot to include live ARCP Form R completion via the app (with associated HEE admin unlocking of Form Rs submitted in error, if needed).	Too early to score	0.1	0.1	0.1	n/a	n/a	n/a
Key Result#4: Ensure data from all fields in Form R is stored in a format enabling it to be extracted on demand for the purposes of reporting.	Too early to score	0.5	0.6	0.6	0.6

Following on from a TISSS call (2021-08-17) where it was confirmed that running the 2nd TISSS pilot within this Quarter was not going to be possible, we removed it from the KR list for our OKRs. Spare effort we have as a result will go towards supporting other services and looking at where we can take KR#4.

Feedback

We really do welcome any feedback you have for us - whether it be negative or positive, or whether it be a suggestion of something we could try/incorporate in a future Review. We absolutely don’t want to stand still. We’re very happy applying the 12th Agile principle of ‘becoming more productive’ to our Reviews themselves! Your contributions to this survey are entirely anonymous, should you wish to include anything others might perceive as controversial. We welcome any and all feedback, as long as it is constructive!
