In my career so far, I've most enjoyed working on kanban-esque teams. Just a bunch of tickets, maybe sorted by priority, for anybody to jump on. A wireframe to reference and quick slack updates once a day. Ironically, this was my least favorite job, but the working style has turned out to be my favorite.
Since then I've worked on agile teams and found it to be less useful. I'm sure there are reasons for why, but strictly from a personal point of view, it's much more fun and relaxing to just do kanban.
- midrus 5y agoExact same experience. A kanban board with clear priorities was my best experience so far in my near 25 years of career in this field. This was thanks to the big bosses which were pretty chill in regard to when things would be ready, as long as it was "as soon as possible" they were happy. All the Agile an scrum bullshit get introduced the moment the higher ups want to have exact estimates and deadlines and just shipping features is the only prioirity. Despite all the stupid effort to predict task sizes and times in the end they're always wrong, things take more time (or less) and we wasted a ton of time and mental energy on the shared taboo lie that we're estimating stuff.
