You forgot “We use JIRA so we are agile now. I assigned all tickets so get to work and be done at the end of the
weeksprint”The one I like is “we have no fucking idea what we’re trying to build other than a vague problem statement, so start testing already. This is Agile.”
On that subject, does anybody hate the term “Sprint” as much as I do?
“Sprints” are extremely quick events that last tens of seconds and are done at most once a day, but more often (in competition) a few times a month, or a few times in a day every few months.
You don’t sprint for a full week every week. That’s a marathon, maybe an ultra-marathon.
The theory being that the team rushes to complete the prioritised items. Also in theory if you close all items before end of the sprint, you are free to not work, or work on pet project at your own pace.
Of course middle management hates the idea of others being idle so they asked to squeeze the last part. Efficiency, baby !
