A comment on Leave scrum to rugby, I like getting stuff done. Parent comment
We were told the base principle was to have a stable team and a stable stack, and at some point we had reference tasks to calibrate our point system.
But then we had team shuffles about every 6 months ~ 1 year, so team velocity was a fantasy.
Then we changed core libraries, introduced services using new stacks, built new API, adapted to other teams’ new paradigms.
And all of these changes felt to be for the better to us. Everyone would have left if we kept everything inu place for the sake of point consistency.
Basically, how did you deal with change ?
