Example 2: Day Before the Release

It was the day before a major release, and the team wanted to get that release out the door before starting a bunch of new features. So, they focused on last-minute bug fixing. If they didn’t have any bugs to fix at the moment, they worked on tech stories—typically things that we had wanted to do for a long time but had never gotten around to, such as removing unused code, catching up on refactoring, and learning new tools.

As you see from the board, lots of tech stories (green spots) are in progress.
