So one thing we're working hard to do- is minimize the status updates required. For example- we built a simple home/dashboard where statuses can be updated with one click and individuals can focus on their priority tasks during the sprint.
We feel strongly about minimizing the amount of time spent wading through tickets and updating statuses. Currently working on a few other ideas/features that are related to status changes based on source control. Stay tuned.
As for power differential, the question is how do you instill a sense of camaraderie in individual engineers, and enable managers to load sprints with actual team data vs subjective measures. We're still working on improving this front - but so far - our "home" feature has been liked by both engineers and engineering managers.
