What is the sprint duration for your team? How do you split it between Dev and Test? How much time for UAT? Deployment at the end of every sprint? What's the test strategy typically like? Exploratory or detailed test cases? I'll start.. 2 weeks sprint, 5 days dev, 3 days test, 2 days uat and deplo...Read more
Right now, we allocate 10 points for every engineer and each sprint is 2 weeks long. Everyday standup to unblock and track progress. Bi-weekly with FE, QA etc. At the end of sprint we do demos. A ticket should be no more than 3 pointers. 1 pointer - half a day, 2 pointer - 1 day 3 pointer - 2-3 day...Read more
Guys, Is it only me or anyone else feels the same , that standups are useless every day ? It's too much of status...when...why everyday and on somedays every few hours status. The whole agile thing is overrated, its created just for managers and to make sure people work their butt off every day. L...Read more
Not some waterfall-adhoc-agile-like nonsense. Actually following the Agile Manifesto. Story points. Scrum. Kanban. User stories. Sprints. TC : 320k YOE : 9 #google #amazon #netflix #meta #apple

If you are following an agile framework for development and planning, are you successfully tracking sprint velocity? If your answer is yes, would you ge able to share any insights on what helped your team to become successful with this? #agile
Does AWS use Agile Methodology and Sprints? I figure it is probably team based, but I am curious what different AWS team uses there. TC: 250
I’m trying to understand how effective Agile methodology is for tech workers. This includes sprint planning and Kanban boards for both individual contributors and managers, as well as SWEs, SREs and Operations staff. How much Agile is enough and how much is too much? Please share your thoughts. Than...Read more
Feature development in my company is not 100% agile but does follow two weeks sprint which consists of development (by developers), testing (by QA) and UAT (Product/Stakeholder). I have noticed most of the times, Development and QA activities take majority of the sprint and push stories to UAT tow...Read more
People on blind often complain about WLB problems in companies. Just want to discuss a way to resolve WLB problem using Agile approaches. Let’s say you need to work 60h per week or work over the weekends. You can bring this up in sprint retrospective and say “we needed to work over the weekend thi...Read more
How is your team's project for monitoring research projects, using points for stories or hourly estimates for each sprint, similar to Agile software development. Management wants us to follow agile process for research and put in hours adding up to 80, for a 2-week sprint. ML modeling or research i...Read more
I came across this article on LinkedIn which talks about how agile is killing productivity. I can relate to so many things he has said about sprint planning and ‘’meta work’. His best line is we are sacrificing productivity in the name of predictability. https://emaggiori.com/employed-in-tech-for-y...Read more

Story points for sprint tasks is a key part of agile. How does your team do this? How do you define story point? Who defines them? Do you update it to a more accurate number after the work is complete? TC: 430k Yoe: 14
By meta work I mean: sprints, “agile”, “estimating”, OKRs, dealing with product and clueless PMs. It fucking sucks. I just want to write code and get paid. Why do I have to play these dumb games to give someone who has a mostly made up job something to do?
I experienced one week sprint without no properly review process and I think it is quite ineffective and nobody listening to me in the company. What should an effective review process look like in agile methodology?
So as we all know, agile/sprint universally sucks the life out of us and only exists to fund the egos of mythical project managers/agile coaches/scrum masters. Truly the greatest scourge of our era. Anyway, my team daily stand-ups were taking sometimes 30+ minutes where people used it as an opportu...Read more
Hello all, Are there companies in tech that do not follow the scrum/agile software dev lifecycle. Kinda fed up of the two week sprint lifecycle - been doing it for years and find it boring and monotonous. And would like to explore something a bit different. TC#200
Provided them documents on December 8, 2021. They still haven't filed the H-1B petition. They don't even look determined to file it soon looking at their slow/delayed email responses. Fragomen is so lazy and slow. They need agile two weeks sprints with daily scrums. #h1b #workvisa
