A phrase used when working in Agile teams for moving a ticket off my plate and onto somebody else’s because I’m busy.
Explanation
This is another one of those lovely Agile phrases that makes an action seem far more seemly.
If you’re too busy or your priorities have changed, you don’t fob off your tickets, pass them on to someone else or even reassign them. You redistribute them.
It makes everything sound so much more pleasant and organised, rather than everybody panicking and running around.
