However, my experience tells me that bringing this stuff to my manager is even worse. I feel strange because I've seen this same thing for my whole career and I still try fight for what's right when others appear to moan and carry on. Project managers will never allocate time to improve the release process. He wants to be a "team player" so he can't deny the release.

The other team doesn't know how to do the release. Deny the release since they didn't communicate earlier.Įverything I suggested was just flatly denied as impossible. Push back on the team that needs these urgent changes. When he finished complaining, I started asking questions and making suggestions about how we can improve things. We've done two other releases in the past month and both required a day of troubleshooting to fix issues.īoth of us have been working at this company for about 3 years and we both have over a decade of experience in software development. The other team didn't communicate until today that a release is necessary. He's the only person who knows how to release it. The tech lead started out by complaining about how he has to do an untested unplanned release today because another team made some urgent changes. Just today, my team had a developer meeting.
