I write down my thoughts so if I get interrupted I can resume from where I was.
Then, I try to encourage people I deal with to use the issue tracker as much as possible.
"Hey, how is this task going?" -> go to JIRA
"Hey, are you blocked?" -> go to JIRA
"Who is working on this?" -> go to JIRA
Then I check JIRA when I have the time.
- happyslobro 10y agoNot sure why this is getting downvoted. Distractions suck - having a system to manage them is good. Pushing people to use it is necessary.
- CaptSpify 10y agoI hate jira, but I agree with your point. I always have notes that i can reference. More to reference = less time to get back up to speed
- Bahamut 10y agoCould be worse - you could be using Rally.
- XorNot 10y agoOr a giant board of post-it notes.
- MaulingMonkey 10y agoThe only thing worse than keeping JIRA constantly up to date is keeping interrupting managers up to date when I already keep JIRA constantly up to date with the thing they're asking about. It gets amusing when I'm deep down enough into the technical weeds that I've forgotten the exact high level task I'm working on (the thing the manager actually cares about), and refer to JIRA myself to answer the question of what I'm working on.
