- Finding files that are relevant to my work
- Meetings / stand ups
- Creating status reports and communicating progress with work
I often find that tasks I do repeatedly is often not automatable due to high contextual information that is required to do so
We have recently automated stand ups, so the what I did yesterday/what I will do today/blockers are all pulled from Jira so now we only discuss major sprint goals and how to unblock any blockers...this reduces the meeting to just the important stuff
Basically our team can't complete an issue without a commit, and a commit message won't be accepted without an issue tag.
(Issues can also be closed as "won't fix" without a commit of course.)
Does this mean keeping all status up to date in Jira? would you mind sharing how you do this?
Not GP and not my personal experience, but I have a friend whose company has a non-developer do this as part of their full-time responsibilities. They privately check in with every developer at the end of every day.
A stand up is already short and down to "the important stuff" and it is a key part of the process that the people attending express themselves and listen.
