pmtool

 

  • community dev swim lane is being done on daily basis, no rotation

  • worry about not having someone responsible for swim lane/priority tickets to get people to work on tickets to grow more experienced devs

  • idea could be to create a list of people on Talk that have shown an interest in dev in the last two weeks and running that list

  • could also hold virtual hackathon to work with people on tickets, first Thursday and Friday of the month?
