Yeah, I think a better way to do standups is a couple minutes of social time, and "anybody finish anything? any blockers?" rather than going person-by-person.
- sidlls 8y agoI've run my team's stand-ups for several years now. I find without going person by person there is less communication. I still restrict each person's comments to blockers and their agenda for the time until the next standup (not daily). It's not uncommon for "no blockers, tickets X, Y, Z for next day or two" to be it for a report. It's not common but occasionally this will remind someone else of a blocker they have which they can chime in with during their update or else at the end if they've already gone.
- rickyc091 8y agoAgreed with this. I'm actually curious what level of engineers Jason is leading. If it's a group of senior engineers, I'd imagine everyone already knows what's expected of them, but a group of junior engineers might be a different story.
- matthewmacleod 8y agorather than going person-by-person. Better still for us has been going task-by-task rather than person-by-person. Look at everything which is in progress, get a quick update on it, move on. Five minutes tops, everybody is up-to-date, issues flagged.
- Sharlin 8y agoYes! At my last workplace we switched from person-to-person to task-to-task and it worked great.
