Find a good idea. Code it. Deploying is a common approach to software development.
Developers sometimes need to focus more on feature development or writing code.
We get paid for the value delivered, not for any particular feature.
In my experience with companies, at least 45% of every project I was involved in was never used, leading to a lot of waste in the industry. This will make the product more efficient and provide better customer value. All features should have some value to the customer, and each should be evaluated according to its value.
Companies need to realize that technical issues can impact their business.
When teams are bogged down with low-value tasks, they cannot address technical debt or improve their processes. Software development is unpredictable; too much upfront planning can lead to wasted effort.
The goal should be to deliver value to the customer rather than completing a certain number of pull requests or tickets.

While Agile can be an effective tool for software development teams, it is not a one-size-fits-all solution. Teams should be willing to adapt their approach to fit their unique needs and challenges. Leaders and teams should understand that their work should be flexible rather than set in stone.
Empowering teams to take ownership of their local operations can help them reach their full potential.

Create a two-way marketplace between projects and people with the skill to deliver it.
To create an active two-way marketplace:

When it comes to spending money, treat it as if it were your own.
Recognize that people are not resources and allow them to direct their time and attention where they can add value.
Avoid making long-term commitments and instead divide resources based on real-time information.
A formal and simple process for team formation in the organization.

Teams can add or remove members with their consent. Members can also join or leave teams if they provide reasonable notice. Additionally, members can manage their workload and hold many roles within the team.
Trust them to sense and pursue opportunities, accepting that innovation is uncertain.
When teams and projects work together, relationships fuel the job. Do not look for uniformity to allow local methods and tools to flourish.
Every team should be able to do their work and improve how they do it without the need for constant hand holding or direct management.
