Pavel @spavel.bsky.social · 12/07/2026The thing about Agile "sprints" is that when a sprint ends, another sprint immediately begins. But sprinting without rest is just a death march. 711412
Soil Symbiont @boleteful.bsky.social · 12/07/2026Thinking back to my powerlifting programming where every fourth to seventh week felt like a vacation and I only kept getting stronger and stronger overtime. 000
Parsingphase @parsingphase.dev · 12/07/2026We need to learn from the Tour de France and mix up Sprint Stages, Mountain Stages, and Rest Days. 070
James Youngman @jyoungman.bsky.social · 12/07/2026In principle, there's an in-between period where you do a retrospective of the last sprint and plan the next one. In practice, most places I've worked at omit those, and even one of the ones that did them had long term crunch issues so 🤷♂️ 030
Machina Irrationatrix @irrationatrix.bsky.social · 13/07/2026Yes, but have you considered that we have planned the deliverables for the next six months and management expects to see ROI already after five. 110
Theodore PainswoooOoOOOoorth @theodorepainsworth.bsky.social · 12/07/2026Or, why developers shouldn't be contributing to _every_ sprint routinely. 121
Plognark @plognark.bsky.social · 12/07/2026“Death march” is definitely the approach my last company used. 030
Sally 🔜 AdventureX @sirin.bsky.social · 12/07/2026I remember chatting with a company who described their method of a full sprint or project, then two weeks 'on the bench' to rest, to study, tackle debt, whatever the dev found value in... Never saw or heard of that method again, but thought of it often. 291
