Journal

A crazy day of getting packed and driving up to Fredericton to start a weekend

trip. We're having dinner at King's Landing tomorrow night, but first enjoyed

dinner at the Schnitzel Palour. Uwe was fantastic and hospitable with the kids

as always. I ate way too much, and we probably spent way too much. But I enjoy

supporting them and this was a special occasion. We're also just about done with

weekend spending except for breakfast the next two days.

During the ride up I was in our engineering bi-weekly meeting. During the call

we talked a bit about whether sprints are working for us. Krystian, as he tends

to do, pointed out that we need to prove we can do certain things before we

start tweaking teams. Thus, allowing some groups to move to a kanban model

driven by deliverable instead of sprints might be good, but we wont know if

it's an improvement if we don't master sprints first.

I was also reflecting a bit on how admin squad has worked. This is easily the

best work environment I've ever been a part of. I think one of the huge benefits

is Andrii's tendency towards higher estimates and less work committed to.

There's a fine line to walk there, though. At some point you have to start

getting aggressive and pushing yourself a little. Going 105% of sprint

completion week over week probably means we're undercommitting. But the reality

is that if something goes sideways, you can still plan on us hitting our goals.

If everything goes perfect, then we go above. You hope most of the time for

things to be perfect, but they almost always will regress to the average

eventually. So your average should still allow product to count on you to deliver.
