Here’s some of the common GitHub issues we find

Context Switching

Triggered when someone is working on many things on a short period of time. This could be a side effect of the organization of the team, but can also reflect that a single person has too many things to solve.

This usually leads to exhaustion over time.

Trigger

Night owl

This alarm is triggered when someone’s working outside of work hours too often. Some people might prefer the night, others might be having too many things on their plate. It’s wise to ask.

This usually leads to exhaustion over time.

Trigger

Lost in the Woods

This alarm is triggered when there is a lot of rework of the same lines of code.

It might mean that requirements have changed. It might also mean that there is a difficult bug/issue going on.

Trigger

High Churn

This alarm is triggered when there is a lot of rework of the same lines of code. It might mean that requirements have changed. It might also mean that there is a difficult bug/issue going on.

Trigger

I believe I can flow

Triggered when there are not at least two contiguous hours for uninterrupted work in a day. This is called “focus time” and it’s important since the brain takes, at least, 15 minutes to switch between different tasks. It’s related to cognitive absortion and quality of work.

This usually leads to exhaustion and depersonalization over time.

Trigger

Recurring Meetings overload

Having too many recurring meetings might mean some are not necessary, or could be automated. In some cases, this contributes to exhaustion.

We suggest you review your recurring meetings as it seems their number might be higher than the average.

Trigger

After-hours is for cocktails

Triggered when someone has been in meetings outside their usual working hours.

This usually leads to depersonalization over time.
