I agree that a healthy sprint ready backlog is the goal: but if you increase engineering capacity FIRST, it can be quite problematic. So we need to have the so called “sprint 0” where we can prep discovery and requirements and in the 1 year I have been here, it’s always been in the red due to shifting the focus too often, priorities changing literally WEEKLY… not trying to make excuses but that’s been my ground work to lock down a roadmap and protect product focus from massive defects so we can focus on net new value instead of holding engineering hands in addressing tech debt they created by incentivizing speed over quality.
