I love this. Short, to the point, and insightful. I’m one of those ‘big picture’ type of thinkers. It’s really important to me to just not know the how behind something, but also the why and how it relates to the larger context. I encourage our developers to make liberal use of the Description field in Jira stories and tasks and provide an overview of why we are doing something and how it relates to the bigger picture. Some of them don’t like it I guess, but some are really digging it. I’m happy to provide the big picture behind the project and they are happy with added independence understanding the big picture gives them.
