As someone who hates standups I tend to disagree. I've found that without some kind of forced daily interaction, lines of communication in a team break down very quickly if they aren't already extremely tight knit. Once that happens, your project is toast.
- randomdata 8y agoThat's funny because we recently started doing standups and our communication has fallen off a cliff. I feel like we had that tight knit group you describe, knowing when to get in touch and when to leave things alone. Now we don't speak to each other except during standups, and even then it feels more like speaking at each other as it is expected that each member put in their voice, even when they have nothing to useful to add, leading to the team quickly tuning out and then not paying attention when something important is mentioned. Not to mention that now there is up to a 24 hour window before anything is addressed, when the previously used ad-hoc meetings would have got everyone on the right track in a much shorter timeframe. And as a result of all that I feel like there is a lot more animosity between members. It may be possible to do standups well, but we've failed at it horrifically.
