I like the ticketing system for tracking issues, especially with a distributed team. But especially with bigger corporations it gets so damn tiresome. I crave a Kanban-only system and software leaders who just talk to their developers to inform/influence what's to do next.
Perhaps this is just grass-is-greener daydreaming. Is anybody doing this/how does it perform? Perhaps I am just so thoroughly conditioned by agile-everywhere-all-the-time and I can't think pass it and this is a very bad idea?
- lumost 5y agoHubSpot has this type of culture. Engineers would work on problem areas or projects. They would be empowered to communicate progress in whatever way the team thought was best. The vast majority of teams didn’t use stand-ups, scrum, or agile.
- glouwbug 5y agoDo you work for hubspot
- prtkgpt 5y agoI am interviewing for hubspot as well currently and I also read the books. Interesting !!
- icedchai 5y agoThe book ("Disrupted") was a real laugh. After reading it, I wouldn't want to work there.
- glouwbug 5y agoWait, isn’t that the book where the guy stayed there for like 2 years just to log all the crazy stuff that happened so he could write a book? Weren’t people like having sex in the company beds during work hours?
- icedchai 5y agoYes, that's it. Some crazy stuff happened and many people "graduated" from the company. Perhaps a Hubspot employee can tell us how true it all was!
- lumost 5y agoI used to, I switched away a few years ago - but do miss the engineering autonomy.
