Work Type Focus

About

Work Type Focus helps teams classify and visualize their work in Jira, making it easier to plan sprints with intent and balance. By surfacing how time is spent across different work types, it prevents teams from drifting into reactive or "feature factory" modes. This empowers teams to maintain focus, foster innovation, and deliver sustainably. Key Features - Work type classification: Add a simple step during Jira issue creation or updates to classify work, making focus visible and measurable. - Sprint insights: Visualize trends across sprints to review balance, prevent feature factory drift, and foster innovation in planning. Benefits - Clarity in planning: Ensure sprints are intentional by making work type distribution visible. - Balanced workload: Prevent over-focus on features by highlighting technical debt, unplanned work, and innovation. - Improved retrospectives: Use insights to reflect on past sprints and drive better team decisions. - Sustainable delivery: Maintain predictable flow and create space for long-term innovation.
