"I’ve been employed in tech for years, but I’ve almost never worked"
"I’ve been employed in tech for years, but I’ve almost never worked".
This post mentions a surprising cause: Scrum.
Scrum encourages sizing tasks as a team. Teams bloat estimates to avoid “blowing” the sprint. So, estimates are heavily padded.
Result? People pretend they’re working.
The solution:
Stop focusing on “doing scrum”.
Instead, focus on serving customers.
