2 meetings related to sprint planning and ops. Knocked out 2 interviews as well. Let one overlap 20 min into the Ops review meeting with leadership. TC 240
How am I expected to deliver when I only had a stand up + sprint review + sprint planning + meeting other teams to hash out bug + brainstorm + manager 1:1 + skip 1:1 + intern presentation? TC 1.5 🍌
Should sprint cycles be every 2 weeks or 4 weeks? Our team uses 2 weeks and I feel as though it’s too short. Almost every sprint tasks gets carried over because of the are out for review (even for senior engineers) and sprint planning and retrospectives every two weeks seems redundant. Any thoughts...Read more
2 months ago, manager put me on pivot and start pip. Today After 2 months of 50-60hrs / week work time, keep asking code review all the day and basically complete all tasks but today I was managed out and manager give me reason as one task carried to another sprint and I asked for more sprint point...Read more
I'm the worst performer on my team and it shows every sprint review when I am the only guy who still has outstanding tickets in review or in progress while everyone else is mostly done. My teammates are smart and hard working. I don't have any excuses really. It's taking a toll on my mental health a...Read more
I'll start: + He provides great code reviews while educating people - He fails at contributing actual code and his tickets usually drag across sprints
I'll do like 3 or 4 tasks per 2 week sprint and I feel like I'm not being used at full capacity. The main limitation is that people won't review my code. Other people in the team have one task they don't even finish in a sprint and keep pushing out for months. I understand that some things take lon...Read more
Quarterly planning, sprints, performance reviews, layoffs, LC and interviews, learn new frameworks and next cool stuff during the weekend. Rinse and repeat. It’s so tiring. F myself for choosing a tech career for money Tc 400k
In my dev team of 6 people I complete about 30% - 40% of sprint goals. Another couple of people do their job too. The rest slack off. Our team doesn’t complete the sprint goals and get reprimanded again and again. No one talks about personal accountability. Every sprint review is just another bs...Read more
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?
I have been working with some shitty organisation where they follow 100% code coverage. It sounds very good but it’s extremely frustrating to work on such test cases. If you are storing stack trace in DB to troubleshoot something. They expect to test stack trace also. Is it something wrong with me ...Read more
1. Do you set half or quarterly goals or every two month 2. How long are your sprints 3. How often and aggressive are performance reviews Anything you want add? How often is org restructured happen?
I’m a new employee that started off wfh, and no one will do my code reviews. One of my diffs has been sitting waiting for code review for 9 days with 0 comments. I even ping’ed the team last week and they said they would look, but no one makes time. Now seems i cant finish deliverables this sprint d...Read more
So I joined the company last year and just after 5 months OptumRx and Red ventures started a joint venture. I had to look for a new job, so I went to Optum tech. Got promoted one level with a decent raise. I got good reviews from the manager but now the team started expanding really fast. The manag...Read more
Our team has two weeks sprint, before this sprint started, one of my colleagues , called it A, he first asked me Did I finish all my tickets in last sprint, I told him yes. Then At the same day I saw he talked with B who is project lead in private, also separately with manager. Next day, before ne...Read more
I was excited initially but had to mute in the middle of workout. Music too loud! Are trainers forced to sing and shout while they are sprinting? There is no place to post review or feedback so using blind!
So I have this report who’s extremely hardworking, highly technical and very collaborative. However he/she has a very peculiar habit of working on things no one else knows about. He sees a problem or a personal need and starts spending 30-40% of his time on things which weren’t assigned on the Sprin...Read more
Assume 10 days / sprint. 2 points per day. So at max, a developer can do 20 points / sprint. But there are other random stuff. Meetings, email, unknown issue fix, code reviews, KTs. Given all that, what is a reasonable amount of point a developer can plan for. This is highly dependent on the tea...Read more
Our product owner only even attends our sprint review. None of us developers is clear on the direction of the product and what the goals are in the near and long term. What do these product ppl actually do??!! This guy always has his skype red..
