I’ve met this bird. It only prioritizes issues as urgent; when interacted with, it’ll say “yes, this is part of MVP”
Could be worse, mine have started saying “the MVP must be feature complete and 100% bug free” but there’s a 0% chance there’s enough budget for that.
And what sort of an MVP is feature-complete and completely bugless?
Wayne Gretzky? 🤷
Minimum Viable Player
When I see posts like this I just remember those old crotchety engineers who would gripe about “scrum bad”, then would absolutely refuse to participate in collaborative planning activities with their fellow teammates. They tended to be the primary source of bad vibes and work breakdowns
Found the project manager
They’ll be all replaced by simple AIs
did he also learn to complain about the quality of your work despite clearly being incapable (or unwilling) of doing it better himself?
He didnt hire himself, he hired you…
Not sure whether to laugh or cry at this one…
Considering what a fucking tragicomedy life on Earth has turned into, I think doing both – possibly at the same time – is a valid reaction
I’ve worked with the worst project managers. Sit in a meeting for an hour completely silent, then at the end ask questions that were already answered. I’d love that job. That or scrum master. Our scrum master is fucking useless. I think if he doesn’t move stories around swim lanes he will explode.
