Idea: polishing days
- Good idea! Set aside 1 day per week to improve existing content 159
- Bad idea! Just work on sprints, you can polish once we're in Bangkok 65
In the great discussion in my last sprint reflection thread, Enrico said something that sparked an idea. He said:
...it feels like adding the slightest amount of content (be it new scenes or enriching existing ones with new branches/content) takes you ages and I never understood why...
I think the reason is that, as soon as a system or scene is "good enough", I move onto the next major task. This keeps the development speed up, but means that existing content rarely gets polished or improved.
That sparked an idea: what do you think about weekly "polishing days" in which, instead of working on the current sprint, I'd polish the piece of existing content you guys voted for me to work on?
How it could work: I set up a poll of polish options, like:
You guys would vote on the one you want, and I'd work on that for one day per week until it was done. Then we'd put up a new poll.
Benefit: polish tasks would get done regularly
Cost: sprints would take about 20% more time to complete
Let me know what you think.
