I have the same issue. I'm managing a team, but at the same time I'm expected to actively participate toward the sprint goals. Because I keep getting pulled away for meetings, or to help the other developers, I can't get any focus time and my velocity is incredibly low. To the non-developers in my team, it seems like I'm a really slow developer and it's really hard to explain to them that it's really hard to write code ad-hoc.
- pavel_lishin 9y agoI hate to tell you this, but you're probably going to have to commit to writing less code. If you're managing a team, your time is probably better spent doing that stuff - going to the meetings, helping the others developers, etc. My current manager seems to be in the same situation as you, and he tends to pick out the shorter, less critical stories to work on.
- donkeyd 8y agoThanks. Unfortunately, though, I'm fully aware of this, it's the people around me however who seem to be unable to accept this fact.
