Here’s a way that has worked for me.
You’re going to do things hundreds if not thousands of times each year at the job. Each time you do them again, it is a wonderful time to ask “Why?”. Why do we scrum like this? Why do we not make time to share domain expertise? Etc. After asking “why”, then ask yourself “how might I/we” with regards to a better path forward.
You’ll be able to see your own individual path of things you can change to make your life at work more enjoyable, but the most enjoyment I get is challenging the status quo especially if everyone else feels the same way and nobody largely knows why things are the way they are. Talking to people helps you realize that nothing is really set in stone and can bring more meaning into what you want to get out of the job.
- kartoshechka 5y agoI did a lot of challenging at previous job and it was relatively friction free because our team was tiny. Here we have full-house of scrum masters, product owners, business analytics, architects and whatnot, and each raised topic should go several rounds through them, and most of suggestions hit the top management wall who say that we're already behind the schedule and keeps hiring new engineers. I guess I have to learn to play politics at scale
