Blockers usually take longer than ~15 minutes to discuss & resolve, though, and because those discussions are definitely not relevant for the rest of the group, they're not meant to be had in the standup. Instead, we think blockers should be discussed and resolved as they happen, instead of waiting for the standup the next day to report on them.
and point taken on the "here's why"!
- the_other 6y agoThe OP confused the issue significantly, IMO, by suggesting that “let’s take this offline” was a bad thing. NO it’s half the point! Identify the blockers, identify who can help, and take the solutionising elsewhere. Also, as you say, solve the blocks as they happen. You still need the stand-up to replan now you’ve used up X amount of unplanned time unblocking something. This might impact delivery.
