I’m trying to help out my team with the work load. They’re a small team of 3 engineers and while I’m working in narrowing the deliverable goals to match, their scope is for way more than three people. Any other teams feeling squeezed thin?

If this wasn't the reality of today's tech world, there would be like a 99% chance you're my boss

I likely am not your manager so wondering how your team is coping with it?

If you’re running Agile, the Product Owner should be prioritizing the backlog so the team is only committing to what three engineers can realistically deliver. During planning, we take the highest‑priority items and size the sprint based on actual capacity. We’re transparent that this is the limit of what we can take on. If leadership wants the full scope delivered, then we’ll need additional engineers to match the workload.

It’s a great point. That’s my job primarily, that we’re setting achievable targets. Product is deciding what those targets are

Less of a question, more of a request... stop asking your junior BIPOC strats to work on BLM briefs because they are the only voice of color on your team. In a time where we need support grappling with our very REAL realities and how it impacts how we show up in the agency, the LAST thing we need is an “opportunity” to express our “unique POV” on a diversity brief (that we won’t even get to speak to none the less). Imagine having to chanbel your trauma into a deck to sell in an idea to clients?
