That's the whole point of the standup. If I was stuck with something like some "Java setup", whatever that is, I'd let others know. Maybe someone will pipe up and say, "Oh yeah, I've seen that before, just do x", or "Let's get together after the standup and try to figure it out together."
- dasmoth 9y agoSometimes that's the right answer, sometimes it's better to just hit your head against it for a while. (This can be an individual thing, I'm definitely a learn-by-doing type and need to be "spinning my wheels" sometimes. Others benefit from talking things through). It would be nice to be trusted to make this call rather than having a ritual to force the talk-things-through option every time.
- DanielBMarkham 9y agoYes. Exactly. 99% of the standup is allowing people to help each other and dynamically set their agenda for the day. If it's a status report or just a bunch of people trying to make up cool-sounding stuff they did? You're doing it wrong.
- sheepmullet 9y agoWhy do you need a standup meeting? Do you think that before standups were common developers just spent weeks spinning their wheels?
- Udik 9y agoIf you need a standup to mention that you're stuck on something like that and ask for help, then your team is not functioning, agile or not agile.
