@magicMirror == equal priority == no priority. It's the first thing we devs need to teach business/management.
I once did as;! Was told. And delivered everything they gave me as priority at once. Everything was over due and 3 of the 14 items where irrelevant by the time they where delivered. After that they wanted to have a conversation. -
@hjk101 yup.
No need to teach them. Just work on whatever you want - start with the longest. -
@magicMirror hahaha yeah that is another nice form of education
I’m getting fucking tired of having this conversation:
Company “we need x”
Me “ok. In order to deliver x I need y”
Company “we can’t do that”
Me “ok. Then can I have y”
Company “nah ah”
Me “what about Q?”
Company “nope”
Me “okay. Well until you decide to provide me with the resourcing needed, this is getting deprioritized”
Company “wait this needs to be top of mind”
Me “okay. Provide me with y, and I’ll deprioritize other work”
Company “wait we also need that other work”
Me “you’re only getting one. Pick which one you want first”
Company “we’ll get back to you”
Me (muttering) “no you won’t”
Company “what?”
Me “what?”
