there’s also pms who are completely clueless and just follow some inane fr-agile process to the letter with no curiosity or understanding of how they’re helping anything or improving processes. they are unknowingly an organizational cancer that consumes more and more resources with each passing budget. demanding ever increasing process for the sake of process not only taking up their own time but everyone else’s as well. these are the middle of the road pms that aren’t great to work for but aren’t bad either because all they care about is filling out mountains of paperwork that no one will ever read or care about. as long as you put the bare minimum into their process they’ll leave you alone and won’t give less of a poo poo about some other team member taking up the mantle of actual pm work the iron fists will kill projects and scare off employees quickly. the above pms will slowly spread until they strangle entire organizations

I so wish I could just ban JIRA from anyone who doesn’t have a PMP and just give them a loving webcam pointed at a kanban made of post its and a whiteboard.

our project manager increased meeting count so that we now have 2 days every 2 weeks where it's just all meetings. This was in response to the fact that we had too many meetings strewn across the week. instead we now have 2 3 hour blocks one day every week and then 2 1 hour blocks on the other days. Our velocity has decreased but when I point that out, they counter with "velocity is not the point"

also as technical lead for the team, I'm in charge of writing the tickets. I write them in google sheets, export as CSV, and create them in batches on Jira. We then spend 10-20 minutes per ticket pointing them. When we need something done in less than 2 sprints, we just say "this can be done by this person", and keep it unpointed. Otherwise it would break the system because you're supposed to write the ticket, point in the ceremony the next sprint, then add them to the following sprint, forcing a 4 week lead time.

the best way to actually get work done is by creating adhoc tickets and saying "this was a customer ask" which the oncall person has to handle unsurprisingly, the oncall person also happens to do the most work outside of triages.

when you're not on call, you pick up your 1 (or maybe 2 tickets), and then just keep saying "working on it" in standup until the end of the sprint where you say you're done that way, we guarantee that all our "sprint goals" are complete because we finished everything we "wanted to do" honestly, saying this all out, it's pretty good because still getting paid and layoffs don't think about how much work anyone has done.

Yeah that description is super vague because it doesn't indicate how the mortgage payments correspond to the percentage of equity that they take and it doesn't say what the annual fee is

It seems like these "home equity agreements" should probably be illegal since they're just a way to bypass regulations on home equity loans?
