Learning questionWill engineers attach metaphors to their tickets, and do those metaphors help anyone else read the work later?
Smallest useful testA Slack bot in three teams for two weeks. One command attaches a “brick” — a one-line metaphor — to any ticket.
Expected signalAt least one team voluntarily keeps using the bricks after the two weeks, or references a brick in a review without being prompted.
RisksCute but unused after a week. Or: engineers treat it as a chore rather than a shortcut.
