Or does not > need, or want, help outside of a sprint? That basically means: yes we probably need help. But it also means that getting help should be done in a coordinated way, like introducing one or two team members during a sprint. Getting someone new involved always means overhead and should happen when there is time for such overhead. In my experience sprints are ideal for it. I also talked to some people about getting them involved in salsa, but there will also be a call for help.
I / we plan to add at least one global admin and maybe one or two assistants that help with "user" support. We just need some time to plan and coordinate those things (around christmas is really a bad timing for such discussions) Alex
