From tactics to strategy
Work smarter
- board should be easy to manage
- projects should be easier to run locally
- small self-sufficient teams
- plan for extensibility, do not build until is required
- Deliver short term, think long term
- Understanding priorities
What happened to the board?
Pretty much this
Team Board purpose
A tool to coordinate business and engineering
One ticket = one feature/one bug fix
Planning
Team Board is not for parking unplanned tasks*
Unplanned business tasks -> prodpad
Unplanned technical tasks -> project board
*Work in progress
Team Board column
Triaging
To do
In progress
Waiting
Project Board purpose
Tracking tech debt
Minor bugs
Workflow
Pick up a ticket from the team board
This requires to change app-awesome!
Workflow
Check app-awesome board if there is anything I can fix while I am implementing the feature
Workflow
Do it!
Some caveat
I can't justify spending so much time , I have to deliver!
Alan Turing
Pick up engineering tasks that doesn't increase the magnitude of your work
Some caveat
The engineering task I picked up is a rabbit hole :-(
Steve Wozniak
Try to improve the situation, at least update the ticket with you findings
Some caveat
No way I'll ever have time to do this
Ada Lovelace
We need to make a call: if it is important, we need to plan it (back to the team board), if it is not we can probably close it
Some caveat
I want to see this ticket, is important for our users/business
Steve Jobs
It has to be moved back to the board or to prodpad (if there is no plan)
