Finish the tickets, but don't close the tickets ;)
2 comments

Isn't this the standard practice? :)

I developed the habit to announce all changes in my service on Slack when deploying to production, even seemingly invisible ones, and that helps not to forget the tickets after writing the code. But team lead still finds some finished but unclosed ones on each backlog GC run.

This is the way
I used to feel really bad about this until I learned a lot of other programmers do the same thing. Work hard and fast for a little while when you’re motivated, relax a lot when you’re not.
And hope you’re more motivated than not?
Yeah, more or less. I have to find ways to kickstart motivation. Probably why I like owning my own business. xD
