You’re absolutely fooling yourself - a ticket is a unit of work. Trying to hide tech debt by keeping it out of the project management system is not beneficial.

- lifeisstillgood 4y agoThe code base is the project management system - the dialogue between developers is the way code is developed - and the project management system is a pale copy of the real system used to keep non-literate people happy and feel they have some input. Progress is measured by working software not closed tickets.
- sdiupIGPWEfh 4y agoNo one's trying to hide anything. The target users of project management systems, product owners and anyone with with a project manager title, typically neither care about nor understand the value of rework. In their view, the dev teams should be creating maximum value at all times, which they understand as either adding features or putting out fires. Rework tickets do not get prioritized until they're identified as the cause of lost value. The inevitable question is "well why wasn't it written correctly to begin with?" even if the reason, as is typical, was pressure from product managers in the first place.
