Gifts for Epic Prelude Analysts

Picking a gift for an epic prelude analyst

An epic prelude analyst is someone who spends their days in the early stages of a project, reading requirements, mapping out how work will be split into prelude and epic-level stories, and making sure the team understands what it's really building before anyone writes a line of code. It's a job that rarely gets applause, so the people who do it tend to appreciate gifts that show someone noticed the work. A tee with their title on it works for the office and the weekend alike. A hoodie is the right pick for a cold commute or a long planning session in a chilly conference room. A mug with their title sits on a desk through a lot of coffee, and reminds them every morning that their work has a name. Add their name or team on the second line and it becomes theirs in particular, not a generic job shirt. For a whole planning group, one design in the Team Shop with each person's name on their own shirt makes a better team gift than another lunch order.
