A day at the office

This morning you deep dive directly into checking the freshly delivered Oracle schema changes pipeline. Things are looking good and youre happy to report it's ready for use during the stand-up.

After the stand-up you get together with Jos, a Developer, to discuss the SQL statement improvements you caught Datadog. It suggests to you that we could reduce the execution time by slightly optimizing the statement.

Time for action! Together with Jos, you work on the SQL statement modifications and push them through our database deployment pipeline. After that, it's time for lunch.

In the afternoon, you have a refinement session with the team and Product Owner on upcoming stories and ideas. The team chooses to focus on the ideas around how they can best facilitate an automated way of deploying and testing Oracle schema changes: lets do this!
