A day in the life...


You finish off the daily standup call with your team, where you let your team know you will be working from a beach house next week, and quickly grab a coffee from your kitchen before sitting down to check your inbox.

Next up is going through the story for this morning's Three Amigo refinement where you are representing the development perspective. You read through the story and make some notes about the requirements. You have an hour before the meeting so you pick up a small story about updating the component library with some of the latest functionality and are able to submit a Pull Request just before heading off to the refinement.

After the refinement meeting and your lunch break, you decide to go for a run before you join the Frontend Guild for the bi-weekly update. There you show off and discuss some of the improvements made to the frontend testing standards. Afterwards you check the your PR of this morning and merge the changes. You pick off a story from the top of the board and start work on it.

After a couple of hours, you realise that it is already after 5 pm. It's a Friday so you drop into the drinks channel to chat with a few colleagues before heading off to enjoy your weekend.
