At what point is using a financial advisor worth it?
I am facing a challenge to deliver within timeline . I almost ended up writing a whole component to be deployed in production . The component works well in QA stages but am fixing alongside the PR review comments but my manager is like we need to ship the code as per deadline . I am totally not confident coz rather resolving bugs later do it beforehand is my approach . Any inputs on how to approach such situations . I am going to justify the code quality over timeline One lesson learnt : always overestimate tasks during sprint planning Require inputs . Developer pains !
Do it the right way. Work extra hours if you have to. If that’s still not enough, tell your manager that it won’t be done then and tell him the new date it will be done.
If there’s any doubt it’ll cause a livesite, don’t ship. Get it right. Ship when it’s ready. You get better with estimations and properly sandbagging tasks because you understand the cone of uncertainty. Nothing sucks harder than shipping broken code and having to wake up at 3am to fix your mistake. If it’s not a question about livesite quality and more about turd polishing, go ahead and ship and iterate on it. I have zero problem pushing back with my manager on deadlines if I’m in doubt. They typically respect it unless it’s a hard deadline.
Depends on the product done, culture, there is not a one size fits all, Some of the products become worthless when its delayed. For example an app for Olympics, if you deliver the app after the Olympics there is 0 use whatever quality code you develop. If its involving payments or life quality should be of top concern
someone at a fucking payments company has to ask this question? should i delete my cc info from paypal?
Way ahead of you
Better close your online brokerage, retirement account, and any other financial accounts you have then. I use to work at a popular online brokerage. I opened an account with a competitor because of the shit I saw but lets be honest, all of these places outsource their shit to contractors from infosys and cognizant. Dont work in the food industry or else you might not eat again from what you see 😉
Why do Saas companies need deadlines anyway? No sprints, no deadlines, just deploy when we are ready. That's how we roll at Hubspot, mostly. Just don't mention GDPR 😉.
Have you told your manager this? Would more people help? Have you asked what is driving the deadline? Do you know your P0, P1 etc feature set to know correct priority? What are the possible reprocussions of shipping your code (in terms of $$$ business risk). Can you offer your manager different plans rather than hit or miss the deadline as a binary choice? Lesson learnt : learn to estimate better, not pad your estimates.
