That work will always be there. It’ll just show up as surprises in your Maintenance Roadmap at an unknown date, when your team has mentally moved on and stopped thinking about the feature.”

Lots of hours put in over the past year to achieve this and the only thing it means is that I get to put lots more hours in. Let’s go!
