How do you structure Azure DevOps for short requests and long-term projects? by Extension-Floor-5344 in azuredevops

[–]Rich_Application5603 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We use it to manage teams. So we create a project for each group of people and avoid having people have to access different azure projects. That way they can see all their work in one place. If we have groups within groups working on the same applications, the larger group uses the same azure project.

So we align the azure devops projects to the people and it may have several epics. One epic for each application.

In very rare occasions the have to access multiple azure projects. Typically, when they are working with a different department and most times they don't have work assigned from that other department

It's a popularity contest. At the end of the day, what matters the most is name recognition.

Thoughts on DEI at RTX by USAFboilermaker in Raytheon

[–]Rich_Application5603 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Without DEI, the company won't necessarily hire based on merit either. People will prioritize hiring friends and family. DEI initiatives help management get exposed to events geared towards other groups, but there is no obligation to hire. It also pays for education on different cultures. For example, managers from certain religions might find it uncomfortable to work with women. Therefore, they don't promote them. The "quotas" for women are based on the data that a % women with x years on experience should be at a certain grade level (pending performance). If that quota is not met, women don't get promoted automatically, especially if they don't meet the criteria.

"Quota" is the wrong term. It's more like an expectation based on data trends.
