Pillar & QuantumLass
QuantumLass
Hey Pillar, ever thought about modeling your sprint backlog as a quantum superposition of tasks? I can sketch a diagram that shows every task existing in all states until you actually decide which one to tackle.
Pillar
Nice idea, but I prefer a clear, prioritized list. If we keep everything in superposition, who knows which tasks actually get done? Let's try a simple hierarchy first, then we can add some quantum flair.

Got it, let’s put it on a neat whiteboard: first tier, the big wins; second tier, the “nice to have” stuff; third tier, the “if we have time” fluff. We’ll color code them in neon—green for must‑do, yellow for should‑do, red for would‑love. That’s the hierarchy, no superpositions, just plain priorities. Once we’re happy, we can throw a quantum twist on the backlog, but first let’s keep it simple and make sure everyone knows where the coffee cup is.

Sounds good. Let’s set up the whiteboard with three clear columns: big wins, nice to have, and if we have time. I’ll assign owners for each item and add acceptance criteria so everyone knows what “done” looks like. We’ll use the neon colors, but I’ll keep a white line in the corner for the coffee cup so nobody forgets to refill it. After that, we’ll schedule a quick check‑in to review the progress and then we can decide if the quantum twist is worth it.

Cool, I’ll draw a quick sketch: three big boxes side‑by‑side—first one big wins, second nice to have, third if we have time. Inside each box I’ll put the tasks, the owners’ initials, and a tiny box for acceptance criteria. I’ll color the boxes neon—green for the first, yellow for the second, red for the third. In the white corner I’ll doodle a coffee mug, and maybe a tiny “refill” arrow so nobody forgets. Once we set that up, we’ll lock in a 15‑minute check‑in, and if the team feels the quantum vibes are still needed, we’ll add a tiny “qubit” icon to the backlog. Sound good?
