"Instead, imagine a scenario where tickets were forcibly ranked numerically for a given worker with a given sprint. This way, for every additional ticket assigned, it would naturally be given the lowest rank out of all of the outstanding items for a worker" -- you're so real and correct for this one. I'm not in a ticket system at my current job but boy would this have helped at the last one.
At dbt I've noticed several folks with a "deep work" slack status--that's cool to see and I'm definitely inclined not to bother them when that happens.
