I appreciate my team. Effort is there. Teamwork is there. What else can I ask?
One thing we have to know, and this is not our fault, that we are not magicians. We can’t creat stuff from nothing. It’s just the way it is. But we can raise a few issues. We can help create an environment where things are not hidden under the rug.
We can make the dev process better. We can make sure we’re improving.
That’s why I am going to propose that we make a few changes.
We have 4 x 8 man days. That’s 32 days in a sprint. I am proposing that we use 4 / 32 (12.5%) of the time, as allocated by team lead, on tech debt / innovation. This will make sure that we use that time to our needs and that those days are well spent.
I will think abou it some more, but I think I like it.
