Lightning Talk: A Tale of Two Spirits
summary
Reorganization moves engineers from team-based architecture ownership to squad-based customer-focused work and swaps planning styles: a 3+1 week sprint system for large features, an inherited buoyant FIFO Kanban, then a shift to two-week sprints. Concrete process changes include a maintenance backlog for quick, well-scoped fixes, reinstating an octopus role as first contact, and splitting requests into “investigate” and “implement” tasks. Result: urgent work gets handled without derailing sprints, transparency improves, and estimates stay flexible.
