Your Agile team might be losing productivity without you realizing it!

🚨 𝗪𝗔𝗥𝗡𝗜𝗡𝗚: Your Agile team might be losing productivity without you realizing it!

The big problem? CONTEXT SWITCHING.

Here's what studies say about context switching:

According to the American Psychological Association, switching tasks can cost up to 40% of your productive time.

A study by Gloria Mark, a professor at the University of California, Irvine, found that it takes an average of 23 minutes and 15 seconds to regain focus after an interruption.

According to psychologist Gerald Weinberg, each extra task you switch between eats up 20–80% of your productivity:

For agile teams, this means:
-Slower sprints - More bugs - Reduced productivity - Higher stress levels and potential burnout

So, how can you fix this?

• Set up 'no interruption' time blocks in your team's schedule.
• Prioritize tasks ruthlessly.
• Try the Pomodoro Technique.
• Get better at async communication.
