Document/breakdown/roadmap technical backlog

2025-08-26 20:24:50 UTC

A lot of features coming up so it will be good to breakdown information and get priorities set

Transition from Egen

2025-08-26 20:25:04 UTC

I think, it would be challenging for us to manage all the pipelines we have with the current team capacity and knowledge.

Direction from Senior Leadership about Egen Ownership

@vance & @cynetha with helping me embed fully with very transparent shadow sessions

Moving scrum rituals

2025-08-26 20:26:26 UTC

I think refinement should be the day before planning and planning should be earlier in the day. Retro during the full sprint week because it’s hard to remember pain points after the weekend.

Baseline testing

2025-08-26 20:26:48 UTC

When we are not owning prompt or custom models, then why AA should be responsible for baseline testing?

dry run with feature teams, DS team and genAi team for existing pipelines. validate the current team setup and collaboration plan in the early transition

2025-08-26 20:26:52 UTC

Kudos to Cynetha for taking on all that she does!

Kudos to Xi for bringing up the Autobot pipeline presentation initiative amongst the team-mates

psaxena3 — 2025-08-26 20:27:21 UTC

Split vertical responsibilities

2025-08-26 20:27:24 UTC

This will cause large issues and bottlenecks in work intake and breakdown

Prod Deploy Process

2025-08-26 20:28:03 UTC

We will have new prod deploy approvers:

Vance
Rachel Girgenti
David Lewis

Are there any concerns with this change?

other teams perspective of using autobot as a common service, for example, PA+, RPA, UI Path

Prioritizing independent work from Egen

2025-08-26 20:28:10 UTC

I think we should prioritize working independently from Egen in upcoming sprints otherwise it will be risky for us.

What the long-term vision is for this team. Need to make sure our wants and needs are protected

2025-08-26 20:29:32 UTC

Jira Project

2025-08-26 20:30:27 UTC

Create our own unique project. (call it whatever we want).
For the approvers, that is tied to bitbucket or GitHub (need to confirm) repos. We need to choose our workflow when setting up a new project and set it up.
If we are continuing with BOLT work, no change needed for your JIRA project
If we are not continuing with BOLT work then create our own custom project, with a custom work flow and get new approvers set up.

Ranjan, Vance, Cynetha, Jake help with Asset deserialization issue
