I think the two are separate. If I can look at a board such that I don't have to ask in standup what's going on with a ticket (unless it's going much longer than expected), then we can use that for more valuable conversations

Step 1: determine true priority. How long can this take before it affects jobs? Everyone needs that in mind. If a week won’t affect anyone’s jobs, follow the process or minimally alter it. If people are on furlough because of IT, you have e
