Suggest how to choose a substitute when on holiday
Add some guidance about how someone can choose a substitute in a more direct way, without having to arrange new teams in your head or having to ask many people 1 by 1. The goal is to make it as straightforward as possible.
Some points to discuss:
-
explain in which JIRA epic ticket to ping people. Management? -
mention what to do when subteam assignments change after choosing a replacement -
consider whether using chat (very synchronous, back-and-forth) is ok -
maybe mention whether it's preferable to find a substitute who's already on the team you're conceding, vs. someone new (including a newcomer) -
maybe mention something to make it faster, like „whoever accepts first becomes the replacement“, rather than having to wait for answers from everyone and then choose again
