>> he says he likes picking old tickets off the backlog.

OT but man I hate people who "select" tickets off the backlog. You better have a good reason for not taking the one right at the top...

If his team is anything like the one I work for, the backlog isn't prioritized until the day before the sprint starts... something we're trying to change, but still a long way away from.

Perhaps this is the kind of autonomy he needs.

[carlivar]

You are right, but that's exactly the pressure I'm referring to.

Is "I am totally burnt out to work on that thing where people will be breathing down my neck" a good reason?
