Non-coding activities in a software project
Recently in our project, we came up with a list of non-coding activities. Those are the tasks that need be done quite regularly and might be easy to be forgotten.
If we tend to forget them, then there’s a risk that someone else will introduce a process around those activities. Sometimes it may mean new people will be brought so that they “manage” those activities. In my opinion, the more can be done by a developer the better, because we don’t introduce non-technical people to the communication loop.
- read communication on pivotal (and optionally reply)
- read communication on slack (and optionally reply)
- build/monitoring failures
- review commits from others
- work on our tickets
- look at exception notifications
- create new tickets based on build failures or exceptions
- challenge the prios in backlog
- check security updates for gems
- document higher level concepts (architecture, tracking, technical debt)
- remove dead code, unused feature toggles
I will probably keep updating this list, as this may serve our team in the longer run. If you feel that we miss something important here, feel free to comment, thanks!
