So... When I finish my task I should just quietly sit there until the manager notices I'm not working and gives me something to do? This is just pure bullshit.

- stefs 7y agoi think he rather means that you should pick a new task on your own, where - if you're "a good soldier" - you'd pick the most important task yourself. that said, i, too, don't agree with this article at all.
- kayodelycaon 7y agoIn the jobs I've worked, determining the most important tasks was done at the start of sprints in collaboration with management. Sometimes priorities would change mid sprint. (Which shouldn't happen but that's another discussion.) Starting a task that hadn't been explicitly prioritized would get anyone on the team in trouble. It's never been difficult to get new work approved (just ask) but it had to be approved.
