So, because we can't sprint forever, I built "admin week" into our process - we sprint for 2 weeks, heads down nobody bugs devs (but me). then the 3rd week we "rest", do demo day - show progress and prep for next "sprint".
- mindcrime 11y agoI also hate "sprints" ...you can't sprint forever. Exactly! It's a totally broken metaphor, as nobody can sprint, sprint, sprint, sprint, ... forever with no pauses, rest, or slow periods in between. So, because we can't sprint forever, I built "admin week" into our process - we sprint for 2 weeks, heads down nobody bugs devs (but me). then the 3rd week we "rest", do demo day - show progress and prep for next "sprint". Yeah, I usually try to do something similar to that. It makes a lot more sense to me, than trying to pretend that you can "sprint" continuously for an indefinite period of time.
