minus-squareSkullgrid@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up75·edit-22 年前I’ll kill you , you stupid bird! If everything is high priority, nothing is high priority!
minus-squarejballs@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up39·edit-22 年前I had a list of 30 items I had to prioritize with clients the other day. We ended up with about two dozen Priority 1s and the rest were 2s. So I had to go back and say, “let’s prioritize the 1s” and at least got them to agree to 1.A, 1.B, and 1.C.
minus-squareEphera@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up31·2 年前This is why I really don’t think absolute priority values work. I much prefer relative priority, i.e. dragging cards into an order. Of course, the challenge with that is in clarifying that it’s not a strict order in which tasks will be tackled.

minus-squareVent@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up48·2 年前Could be worse, mine have started saying “the MVP must be feature complete and 100% bug free” but there’s a 0% chance there’s enough budget for that.
minus-squarehydroptic@sopuli.xyzOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up18·2 年前And what sort of an MVP is feature-complete and completely bugless?
minus-squareLoamImprovement@beehaw.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up5·2 年前The one in the manager’s mind, that also isn’t actually an MVP because sales over-promised and now you have to find a way to deliver.
minus-squarehydroptic@sopuli.xyzOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·2 年前Ahh, sales… The best sales folks are the ones who promise customers things that are literally impossible (and I do mean literally, eg. promising something that essentially solves the halting problem). Those are always fun to sort out
minus-squareBallsandBayonets@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·2 年前I can deliver completely bugless. The secret is code that doesn’t do anything, acts the same as code that doesn’t exist.

You are a wizard.
