"New product" is a distinction without a difference. Literally all software development efforts are in the interest of "new products" depending on your definition of "new product."
- rcme 4y agoHow is fixing a bug in the interest of a new product?
- oldmanhorton 4y agoIt's a bit strained, but car or TV companies often put out a new model that's identical to the old model +- some but fixes. There's a line somewhere but the law does not specify the line, it seems
- crazygringo 4y agoExactly. v4.2.34 is a new product compared to v4.2.33. Not defending this, but in the eyes of the law there's no distinction between new products and features and bug fixes.
- whitemary 4y agoPrecisely. The difference with software is that the production process is so iterative that experimentation becomes a relatively rational tactic for getting things done.
- ajmurmann 4y agoLeaving arguments about new patch releases out, how could we practically track this? Would every engineer log the time they work and track feature work separately from bug fixes?
- paulddraper 4y agoThere are already tax credits available to "new development" that doesn't include fixes. So this isn't a new thing to track
- rodgerd 4y agoI see that you are blessed to work in an environment where your day is not a stream of Jira tickets linked to timesheets.
- ajmurmann 4y agoI do spent a lot of time in Jira and my teams do work out of Jira backlogs, but we don't have time tracking.
