Of course. Management has to be able to understand them 😉

As manager, I have to say that is uncalled for. As a developer, I will say you are 100% accurate.

See, that’s the thing. You’ve also been in the dev role and not just a manager or only mostly a manager. Good manager have background in or at least understanding of the thing they’re managing.

The kindergarten thing might sounds harsh. But in the end a virtual scrum board is just a bunch of developers choosing their “sticky note” color and are handled like children by people knowing nothing about code, architecture or dependencies. At least in my experience. Also WTF is wrong with the person who thought that developers shouldn’t talk about technical stuff in all of this process? Its like enthusiasts meet up to talk about all but the common things.
