+# How to improve
+
+Peer reviews and testing were our biggest pitfalls.
+
+
+1. All testing was just manual, in-browser testing, rather than unit
+ tests. We really need write unit tests this iteration, as we had
+ breakages where we said "this is exactly why we need unit
+ testing." However, that happened late enough in the iteration that
+ we didn't have time to do anything about it.
+
+2. That leads us into time management. Our commit activity plotted
+ against time has humps each weak, each growing a little. That is,
+ we started slow, and ended with a lot of work. This wasn't exactly
+ poor planing, but we had a poor idea of how much time things would
+ take. We plan to fix this by front-loading this iteration instead
+ of back-loading it.
+
+3. We had the approach of "show everyone everything" with peer
+ reviews, as we anticipated that this would be nescessary for
+ everyone learning Rails. However, in effect it meant that
+ sometimes information was spread very thin, or because things were
+ being done "in the open", we didn't ever explicitly review them.
+ We plan on fixing this next iteration by committing to do very
+ specific peer reviews with just a couple members of the team.
