Let's end workplace burnout and boreout for our agile teams.
Have you ever felt like you were stuck in a hamster wheel, working your way through a never-ending meaningless product backlog? Then you have probably experienced the combination of burnout and boreout.
I'm David Morris, coach, instructor, and author of books on Agile Project Management, Scrum, and OKRs. In my work, I am finding more and more teams who experience both overwork and a lack of purpose. In my literature review I've seen some common causes mentioned; however, most researchers describe these conditions as opposites, whereas I am seeing them happen together.
Now I'm researching this phenomenon to hear from people in their own words, on the impact of experiencing burnout and boreout together, how it came about, what they did to cope, and any insights they can share. Join the conversation.
Tell me about your experience of burnout and boreout. What impact did it have, what were the root causes, and what did you do about it?
As I complete the early analysis, I will share the findings and insights here.
The plan is to take these findings, with any models and recommendations, into book form. Everyone who contributes will get a free copy of the book.
