July 22, 2010 TeamWork
I’ve been writing e-mail to my co-workers, notifying them about changes I did in sprint backlog. Then I switched to people avaliability and continued about complaining why do we allocate only 6 hours per day for tasks and then did unexpected – shared my thoughts on being result oriented.
EMAIL:
[Something about my changes…
complains-complains-complains- sorry could not share them – complains-complains-complains – complains looks like “we have X hour for this and that where then other Y go?”]
I understand what you may think about me after this, but root of our being behind the schedule is our attitude to work.
I would like to see sprint backlog populated with tasks we really do and fulfilled to meet our allocation per day.
If we are agile team, that want to meet project success, why don’t everyone commit himself equally with others.
If we are professionals who what to achieve career picks and earn something valuable for our lives we need to be result oriented.
All my complains above could be discounted if we all want make customer happy and get it DONE. I want! And you?
Looking forward to hear from you?
Now I think about the consequences that my e-mail will bring. Indeed it looks like I’m too concerned about my project or either I’m emotional, since complained about those things.
Really would like to hear from you about your opinion on this.
Maybe:
I’m complaing bitch
I do not understand that people have other life priorities
I’m too young
I’m bad team worker, I need to start playing from other side
I should become lazy :)
This will have:
Good consequences and they will like my e-mail
Neutral
Bad consequences and will simply make barrier between me and them
Please share other variants, that is really something, I’m interested in to hear from you, readers!

there are definitely other life priorities, but I think the problem (if it's problem) is in that not every team member is so passionate about work as you are.
Still, think good if it is possible to work productively on some tasks 8 hours per day.
Scientists researched that human can work productively only 5-6 hours per day…
Hope I helped you a bit :)

Yes, you are right, but hey, in our contracts we have 10 minutes per hour for the rest. This means that I can work 50 minutes then 10 for tea and whatever else and then report this as 1 hour. I assume this to be still true.
You did not say something about consequences that this could bring. What do you think?
:O
Where have you seen about "10 minutes per hour for the rest"? I only know that we should work 43 hours per week instead of 40
10 minutes is mentioned in our official contract! There I've seen it.
43 is another story. You know ;)
btw, that should be in all work contracts by the laws of Ukraine. And it is world practice. Human cannot work continuously without single break unless there are some special requirements, also do you spend less then 10 minutes on different distracting activities per hour? I don't.
Like they say: "If you wanna be rich You got to be a bitch"
Hope I've helped you a bit
he-he… thank you!
Yeap, sometimes I spend few hours without breaks even without noticing it if the work is interesting :)
But if work is boring, I guess those 10 minutes per hours are extended a lot :))
He-he. Of course it depends…
