This is not necessarily agile. I think this is cargo cult software engineering: "collaboration", "teamwork" and "agile".
Wasn't Agile about doing less work?
Less unrealistic plans.
Less meetings - including informal.
Shorter meetings - mostly just daily standup - what I did, what I'm doing, any blockers.
- a_imho 9y agoAgile is defined as http://agilemanifesto.org/ http://agilemanifesto.org/ Scrum with its artifacts/ceremonies like standup is a specific interpretation.
- marcosdumay 9y agoScrum with its rigid artifacts/ceremonies is a complete negation of the basis of what's on the manifesto.

- dasmoth 9y agoThat's true, but -- especially if you read the 12 principles as well -- it's very clear that the intention is team-based software development with a lot of fine grained interaction (and an explicit rejection of remote work). Stuff like daily stand ups definitely go with the grain. It would be interested to see how a variant that truly focussed on individuals rather than interaction could work.
