Agile cargo cult software development there. Got to get that 4 byte change in this sprint in order to prove that the team's fantasy points are burning down.

To game this, I have started literally splitting tickets into two: 1) implementation and 2) rollout.

This sometimes even lets me present the same win for two sprints.

Uh oh sounds like someone is due for hours of alignment meetings defining “definition of done” :p

We had those, multiple times. Our Jira tickets now contain a DoD checklist no one ever ticks something on or checks. We have just stopped talking about it.

I was just being sarcastic but yeah that’s basically what happened in some of my old teams too.
