Helped: Planning first, checking updates one at a time, focusing on tests.

Got in the way: Slow interactions due to strict permission and review process.

… So far it has still been a bit more productive for me, though the margin is low. I get more product sork done on the order of 5-15%, I tend to have more test coverage as I focus more heavily on that, and I can focus more often on architecture. The last one is a win for me, I prefer that work and find that I can review code quickly enough to make it worth the tradeoff.
