I'm so in alignment with this. I've always hated standups. As a night owl, it's a morning meeting I have to make every single day and I hate it. I also don't understand how I can't just communicate in Slack to say "hey this is what I'm working on, this is what I worked on. Here are the questions I have." And move on. And if the PM prioritizes the backlog, always pick from the top just makes sense. And yes, retros feel like a place for extroverts to own the conversation (and I know, I'm an extrovert).
- smileysteve 8y agoWe have some teams that do "slack-ins" but I find few people read the updates and even fewer questions are answered or asked. At best, this gives micromanagers satisfaction while not doing much, and at worst it's a log of "well I told you so"
- LargeWu 8y agoThe fact that everybody tunes out these updates suggests that the things being communicated are of low value.
