The best way to add more distance between two teams is to move the collaboration method to Jira Tickets Damn, it's so difficult to empathize with PT-423 You lose all the human connection this way 😓
-
Yet, I understand why this happens. Without the proper effort by the team members, we inevitable go into that direction. - SLAz - Freeing the people that need to carry with the "request" and be able to manage more "problems" at once.
-
By allowing Ticket collaboration, you free the upstream teams and moving the workload to downstream teams. You don't remove the bottleneck, you just move it from one side to other.
-
The problem becomes when the upstream is operations and the downstream is product-engineering teams. In this process, you lose so valuable feedback. Delaying a proper solution because lack of understanding the root problem cause.
-
We need to move from - Ticket 33. Fix this. Into - Discovery 33. What's happening, why happens, how to prevent to happen again. Involve Upstream teams in your discoveries, more if they are Ops facing customer problems
-
Their feedback and understanding of the customer needs are so valuable. Be careful introducing Ticket collaboration, you might reduce drastically innovation and proper business domain experimentation
-
Even better, shouldn't be ops part of a Stream Aligned Team? 🤔 If a team needs to be cross-functional to serve the customer needs, that implies also Ops
