My team ditched the standups, and now we just post our stuff in a slack channel:
- What we're working on (jira ticket numbers, titles)
- Yesterday's unplanned work
- Blockers
It's wonderful. I worked on teams with standups for years, and they were utterly mind-numbing and worthless unless you're collaborating with someone, in which case they're just redundant.
- ylhert 10y agoI'd love to hear more about this. You should write up your experiences!
- jchin 10y agoHave you tried WorkingOn? https://www.workingon.co/ https://www.workingon.co/ If you post into Slack, this will compile everything into a daily email. We used it for a bit but then people got lazy about posting or completely forgot about it. It may work for you team.
- aaron-santos 10y agoMy team has been using jell[1] for posting slack standup messages for the last several months. It's a bit odd since we've continued our normal standup tradition and still pay the small interruption cost. However, it's made our standups much faster (5-7mins) because everyone has put into words yesterday's work, today's work, and their blockers. I know there's an argument to switching over to text-based async updates entirely - why do things twice, right? But even so it's an improvement over the traditional standup where most of the content is ad-libbed and can tend toward rambling.
