Welcome

  • Overview of the last couple of weeks

  • Any interruptions to our apps / Live Defects

  • Team going through what they’ve achieved during the last couple of weeks

  • 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

Please ask questions, that’s what this Review is primarily for - your constructive interrogation of what we’re doing:

  • 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)

Executive Summary:

  • 0 LiveDefects this iteration (last fortnight): None

  • Reval app: Improvements to the search performance for Recommendations is underway.

  • TIS Self-Service app: TSS support contact emails updated for two areas. A bug regarding the calculation of total TOOT on FormR Part B was fixed.

  • TIS: A major upgrade was made to the web framework used for the TIS interface. Sub-specialties can now be included when bulk loading placements.

  • Quarterly Objectives and Key Results (OKRs): A slightly slower iteration, with many staff on leave or in GDS Academy training. An additional 25 trainees have signed-up for Self-Service using MFA.

  • Changes to the roadmap: n/a

Live Issues:

(the reason we include these is to be open and transparent about when our apps have been compromised, in order to confirm that we’re constantly iterating to improve performance, resilience and security of our Apps.)

@john o

quick fix - no demo

Bug fix (flagged-up by TIS Admins)
Problem: TSS Form R Part B TOOT total shows in the TSS app but is not being saved so always shows as zero.
Solution:
1. Fix the TSS app code so the TOOT total is saved.
2. Fix the TOOT total for those forms already submitted.
