Wednesday #skyengmarathon


Wednesday.
The interesting term we can borrow from the games theory  - Nash equilibrium. That is a special state in a situation with more than one participant where no one can gain anything better or being better of by knowing the strategies of the others and unilaterally changing only its own strategy. So, if you are a part of a complex system, in order to do transition to a new state that will be beneficial for all parts, all members should change they strategy taking into account strategies of the others. Have you ever noticed how often we do changes with hope of changing situation, but without realizing the fact that we are in Nash equilibrium?

Hidden world between JIRA's Resolved and Closed statuses

Epilogue Being a software developer I were not worried much about an issue’s status after finally clicking on the so desired “Resolve” button in an issue tracker software. Let’s skip all pathetic words about “personal responsibility” for the delivering production ready and tested functionality – at some point the developer’s responsibility is over and either an end-user will work with it or, that it’s much better, a QA team start verifying the just developed of fixed functionality. However, becoming a Project Manager I were forced to look deeper and be aware of the status of each issue (story, task, bug etc.) until the moment of deployment it on all existing environments: testing, staging and production and it is the place where the problems start appearing.
