Shadow Work

contributed:

<div>Shadow work refers to <strong>untracked, informal, or invisible tasks</strong> that consume significant time and effort but aren’t reflected in official plans, metrics, or ticket systems. These tasks are essential for team success but often go unnoticed in capacity planning and performance reviews. Sometimes called 'Glue work'.<br><br><strong>Why it matters</strong>
</div><ul>
<li>
<strong>Hidden capacity loss:</strong> teams appear to have full bandwidth, but shadow work can eat up 30–40% of time.</li>
<li>
<strong>Burnout risk:</strong> Senior quality engineers often shoulder the bulk of invisible work.</li>
<li>
<strong>Promotion barriers:</strong> work that isn’t documented rarely counts toward career progression.</li>
<li>
<strong>Misalignment:</strong> business thinks engineering is slow; engineering feels misunderstood.<br><br>
</li>
</ul><div>
<strong>Three types of Shadow Work<br></strong><br><strong>Invisible production support</strong>
</div><ul>
<li>Investigating alerts and errors</li>
<li>Answering ad-hoc support questions</li>
</ul><div><br></div><div>Fixing issues outside ticket flow</div><ul><li> <strong>Impact:</strong> wasted hours on recurring problems, skipped Quality steps, stability risks.</li></ul><div><br></div><div>
<strong>Technical glue work</strong><br> Code reviews, mentoring, documentation, coordination</div><ul><li> <strong>Impact:</strong> critical but undervalued; creates bottlenecks for senior quality engineers.</li></ul><div><br></div><div>
<strong>Shadow backlog<br></strong>Off-the-record fixes and improvements outside the official roadmap</div><ul><li> <strong>Impact:</strong> broken capacity planning, creeping misalignment, trust erosion.<br><br>
</li></ul><div>Shadow work isn’t bad, it’s often the work that truly matters. The problem is when it’s invisible. Make it visible, plan for it, and recognise it.</div> image

OKRs (Objectives and Key Results)

<div>
<strong>OKRs are a directional and aspirational system</strong> intended to stretch teams and individuals. They balance ambition with measurability and provide a flexible framework whose interpretation can vary by context.<br><br>The <em>classic </em>OKR philosophy emphasises "<strong>Measurable Key Results</strong>". As Dev Experiance, Quality or Testing leadership hold the teams accountable for behaviors and culture - they make room for "<strong>Qualitative Key Results</strong>". <br><br><strong>Qualitative Key Results</strong> are for these objectives that are hard to quantify (e.g., “Improve team morale” or “Strengthen cross-functional collaboration" or in the case of most new Quality Engineering Leaders - "Build a strong quality culture" or "Build a community of practice" as part of the behaviour sections of company values. This is often seen in more 'next gen' progressive organisations. <br><br><strong>Qualitative</strong> = descriptive, harder to express in numbers.</div><div>
<strong>Measurable</strong> = can be counted or calculated.</div><div>
<br>Many companies also encourage personal OKRs focused on skill development or career growth (e.g., “Complete advanced cloud certification”), which may not have an immediate business impact but still align with long-term organisational goals.</div> image

<div>A Quality Engineer is a pivotal role in engineering quality into every layer of the software development lifecycle. Rather than acting as a gatekeeper, the QE partners deeply with developers, product managers, and operations teams to proactively prevent defects, enhance system observability, and drive continuous delivery of reliable, scalable software.<br><br>The “engineering” in Quality Engineering is not metaphorical, it’s grounded in technical fluency, systems thinking, and automation craftsmanship. QEs read and reason about code, architect robust test frameworks, and integrate tooling into CI/CD pipelines to provide fast, actionable feedback. They surface insights through monitoring and trend analysis, and influence architectural and deployment decisions to reduce risk and improve resilience.<br><br>Ultimately, Quality Engineers design for quality as a shared, systemic responsibility, not a phase, not a checklist or afterthought, aiming to remove unnecessary friction where possible.</div> image
