Question
This week, I'll have the choice between helping my team directly (i.e. coding) helping through leadership (i.e. design & backlog work), or helping other teams. How should I split my time?

An emerging idea, lack of direction, distractions, delays

The ideas of the project are still emerging. Focus your efforts on helping the team find their own directions (it's OK if it feels a bit like meandering). It will probably be best to focus on leadership activities, but don't try too hard to drive a specific outcome.

The Ace of Wands reversed suggests that you might be feeling some uncertainty or a lack of motivation in taking on a new beginning or pursuing an opportunity. Given your question, this could imply that diving directly into a new task such as coding might not be the most fruitful approach this week. Instead, this card encourages you to reconsider where your energies would be most valuable.
Considering the choice of leadership roles like design and backlog work, it seems like this might be a space where you could find a more structured and effective way to contribute. It allows for planning, organizing, and setting a clear direction, which might help in alleviating feelings of uncertainty. Helping other teams could also be a viable option, but the priority might be to ensure that your direct team has a clear vision and plan moving forward. So, in conclusion, focusing more on leadership activities like design and backlog work seems like a strategic choice for this week.
