For our purposes, we’ll be considering only Kanban and Scrum (and not other areas like XP).
We could also split some teams to go completely Agile, where it fits (eg: Software)
Communication
- Slack/Discord (Sync)
- E-Mail/Trello (Async)
- Notion/Confluence (Docs)
Using Scrum Methodology
(Adjusted for our workflow)
- Sprint Planning + Backlog pruning → Monday
- Sprint Review → Wednesday
- Sprint Retrospective → Friday
Reasons for Absences
- Personal vacations
- Holidays
- Other personal projects
- Flexibility in all that
- Mental health breaks
Workplace Ideas
Incorporate healthy workplace habits like:
- 20-20-20 rule
- Ergonomic screens and furniture
- Pomodoro technique
- Stretching exercises
- Refreshment breaks
- Follow procedure under stress
