This starts off as another "let's bash standups" article, but after I read further down I found myself nodding more and more.
It put into words something I've seen first hand - how blockers are actually unmade decisions. And then gives useful guidance on how facilitate this from a project management point of view.
I've often seen how three people around a white board can make more progress than months of discussion and decision paralysis. Also the article states how standups can be useful towards the end of a product lifecycle when most decisions have already been taken. This was a new way to think about for it me, but I have to agree.
There seems to be lots of pragmatic real world earned wisdom in the article, unfortunately it's hidden behind a clickbait opening.
