  • Those are good advices in general. In my specific question, I need some advice for the bug fix sprint, e.g. you said "take the boring, menial work that may not be on the critical path". Commented Jan 31, 2024 at 2:03
  • @Qiulang邱朗 See my very first sentence: What the developers are doing has little impact on what you, as a manager and a leader, should be doing. Just because the developers are focusing on bugs at the moment should not inherently change what you are doing. Although, perhaps looking at ways to build quality in and avoid those bugs in the first place would be good. Maybe you wouldn't need to invest a big chunk of time in fixing bugs if you focused on preventing them in the first place. Commented Jan 31, 2024 at 3:39
  • For people manager this is true, for tech lead it really depends. Commented Jan 31, 2024 at 10:36
  • @Qiulang邱朗 If you believe that to be true, why bother asking the question? You may believe that to be true, but I don't. It also seems like Bart van Ingen Schenau's answer agrees that what you do doesn't depend on the work that the people on your team are doing, and I'm even seeing a lot of common threads between our two answers. It seems like you have two people telling you that your assumption that the work is going to be different is wrong. Commented Jan 31, 2024 at 11:06
  • That is one of reasons I like to ask questions to total strangers even though they can't possibly to know more than I do for my own job. Commented Feb 1, 2024 at 1:53
