Relief from Overload

Can’t keep up? Your development team is constantly under pressure. Both they and you would like them to take a breather, have time to organize their thoughts and refactor some code. But it’s not possible. So many requirements are pouring in from the rest of the company that you can’t afford to ease up for at least a few more months. There must be some way to get off this merry-go-round.

It’s a fairly typical situation. The business is pushing to meet its requirements and you’re trying to accommodate them. You tell yourself it makes sense. After all, you’re helping the company achieve its business goals. But at the same time, you see that employees are increasingly exhausted, technical debt is growing, and many situations can only be solved by one specialist who has no replacement. You dread what would happen if they decided to leave. When the situation lasts for many months, it becomes clear to you that this can’t go on. But can anything be done about it?

Yes, it can. Overloaded development teams have many causes and they’re not easy to see at first glance. I’ll help you uncover these causes and then together we’ll figure out what to do about them, so that the situation gradually improves. We’ll look for ways to set up development so that it’s sustainable in the long term, doesn’t create more technical debt, and realistically delivers in a way that keeps the business satisfied.
