Maybe its useful to you, but to be honest, I cant remember a single thing about the standup meeting I had today and I made a point of paying attention. People talk about like "blockers", but if something is blocking me I just go talk to whoever can fix that, and if I need to know about something I just ask people to loop me in. I dont need agile for basic communication skills
- Nursie 10y agoYou don't need to remember what happened this morning particularly, so long as you participated. Great for blockers you know how to fix or who to ask, but you may miss some others. "I need permissions on this server to do X and am waiting for someone to do that" might have an easy workaround that a colleague knows. "I'm doing X but it's taking some time because I'm not familiar with Y" might be met with someone offering to help as they have experience you didn't know about. You'd never get this without some form of generalised conversation.
- overgard 10y agoI feel like I can get all of the things you mentioned without a mandatory daily meeting, either through slack, email, or just conversing with someone. It's not that the daily standup bothers me per se, but lets calculate this out for a second. If the daily standup eats about 15 minutes, and you work about 250 days a year, thats about 3500 minutes spent in a scrum. Considering that, even being charitable, I might hear one useful thing every two weeks... I kinda would rather spend those 3500 minutes elsewhere
