a girl is smiling in front of the camera, not directly looking at it. in front of her is a big cake. the text on her reads, "PM showing off latest features"
just on the left and a little behind is a guy, out of focus, blankly staring at the cake. the text on him reads, "dev getting 0 credit"
Eh, I don't want to present features to stakeholders. It's pretty thankless, in my experience. The real worthwhile merit is in presenting architecture designs and reviews to tech leadership.
In my current project, we hold reviews together with our customer, because supposedly they work together with us on this project (they have done nothing of value since project start).
And it's so miserable, because among us colleagues, we really don't know what everyone else actually developed, because you obviously don't want to go into deep technical discussions, nor be too critical, when the customers all sit there.
In the end, how is that different from not praising all the library coders and open source parts?
Praise goes to the marketing guys. And rightly so. Without them, nobody of consequence would buy or use the code. ;)
Don't you just present the stuff yourself as dev? Our sprint review demo's are done by us, not the PO or something. I thought that'd be standard
