> asynchronous stand ups in a chat client
I've been thinking this is actually the perfect standup. People don't tend to write novels in chat clients anyway (and to the extent they do, you can move the text to a README or wiki and just link it).
Does anyone have any experience with this? Any pros and cons worth mentioning?
- dasmoth 10y agoI pushed http://geekbot.io/ http://geekbot.io/ as an alternative for physical standups at my current place -- it's been generally well received, and when I've used it on short projects (that were set up a way that needed daily sync-ups) I found it pretty helpful, and much less intrusive than a physical standup. Still prefer to have things structured in a more coarse-grained manner, though.
- ashark 10y agoWe do. Post in Slack. It's great because you can ignore anything that doesn't mention you (which is what people do in napping-while-standing IRL standups anyway) but you can always go back and see what someone's up to if it becomes relevant. Well, I wrote "great", but the latter case should be handled by other tools anyway. So really the whole thing could be replaced by just at-mentioning someone who needs to know what you're doing, when they need to know it. Which is just, you know, normal communication. But if you must do standups this is the way to do it, I guess, since it does the least harm.
