What use is knowing what 20 other people are doing today? Are you interacting with all of them? Interesting to know what projects they're working on, but I can be told that once a month if I haven't already got that while chatting to them at the coffee machine. A 20 person meeting for each to speak for a few seconds is to me very theatrical - drop a sentence in a chatroom. If I'm not working directly with you I'm not going to read it, nor listen to you in a stand-up.
- cmrdporcupine 7y agoIn an 'agile' process people should only be working on any particular 'story' for 3-5 day period. Everyone on the team should be interested in what they other people are doing, because they may in turn be pulled into work on some part of it next. In a healthy team everyone should be invested in the success of the product, and have some knowledge of most aspects. Frankly, once things scale beyond that, where you have large teams of people disinterested in what's happening beyond their choice of specialization -- "agile" starts to not be a good match anymore.
