Last week was just bonkers in terms of what we had going on. It was great to see so many positive posts coming out of GovCamp:

Our ‘inspiration library’ that we created at GovCamp got some positive comments over on LinkedIn:
We also launched our apprenticeships scheme which Lauren wrote about which received great engagement:
This week the website team had a playback session of the feedback collected so far on the public beta website from externals and internals who use the site. We discussed which areas of feedback will be a priority before going live.
We also held a session with the skills and capabilities team to go through how the events and courses sign up works on the website – we now have some actions which is to test the events and courses pages in more detail to make sure the team are able to add content which is reoccurring or held over a few days.
We also received our accessibility audit report from the Digital Accessibility Centre which we will discuss and make actions next week.
Haia, Elise yma.
We had a Glastonbury themed retrospective this week with some summery music to end what has been a very busy sprint with two large events, work on the annual review and work on the brand refresh, just to name a few of the things that have been keeping us occupied!
We realised that sometimes our planning didn’t necessarily highlight how much time some tasks would take. For example, some things took up the majority of our time, but were only represented by a single sticky note on our Miro board. As an action, we decided we needed to have a discussion about how we could better estimate and highlight the length of time that some pieces of work would realistically take in our planning sessions and have agreed to bring this topic to a future comms meet.
We also went through our ‘Mad, Sad and Glad’ retrospective board. As part of this we took some time to discuss what went well and what could have gone better. We kept in the ‘Thank’ column that Alaw introduced last sprint, and took some time to say to ‘diolch’ to each other for all the hard work everyone put in over the past nine days.
It was great to see so much work done over this sprint, gwaith da tîm!
