Return of the Devs: Day 1 – The Holiday Hangover
The true tale of what happens when a backend team returns from their December holiday.

Morning Check-In
After two weeks of forgetting what day it is, we returned. Slightly sunburnt, mildly confused, and heavily caffeinated.
Welcomed the team back with a relaxed catch-up session at 15:00.
Shared holiday highlights, reconnected as a group, and checked in on energy levels and readiness for the year ahead.
Set a collaborative and positive tone for the new cycle.
Status Review
“Phew. The servers didn’t unionise while we were gone.”
Stakeholder Sync
Reconnected with key stakeholders to align on Q1 goals and expectations.
Collected any updated requirements or changes in scope from clients to feed into the next sprint planning.
