What Went Well This Week?
=========================

- Build notificationss in Nitro are super effective
- Healthy point total from Garett and David!
- Garett enjoyed working on user facing stories! (The stories carried over from Create)
- Great pairing with David, who helped Garett understand Bullet!


What Didn't Go Well This Week?
==============================

- John wishes he'd used some PTO time instead of feeling under the weather and being unproductive!
- uTu concerns
  - Understanding Marcus
    - Some is related to John+Garett+Ben not having machine learning background knowledge
    - Some is perhaps... not related to that
 
Kaizen
======

Communication issues w/ uTu

Keeping discussions focused
  - We should prepare a brief agenda before meeting w/ uTu (to avoid digression)
  - We should encourage uTu to use Power-specific terminology
    - No more "breakup", "dumper"
  - We'll suggest this to Marcus
