Alice: Yesterday I looked at ticket ABC123, to fix the database. I had some issue with the network so I'm following up with IT. Today I'll look at ticket XYZ385. Bob: Yesterday I was working on the migration to the Kokomalta framework. I'll keep doing it today. Charlie: Yesterday I looked at fixing the printing bugs. Today I'll do more bug fixing. I've worked in different companies, industries, countries and it's always the same stupid thing, some sort of cargo cult practice that achieves absolutely nothing and wastes everyone's time. As a manager if I want to know the status of some project I ask the person, I don't wait until 10am the next day. And if someone is blocked, reach out when you're blocked to whoever can unblock you. That's it. That is actually agile, not that stupid daily ceremony. The IT world is full of those dumb cargo cultish practices. One I've started noticing is to prefix everything with "as a user" when writing "stories and epics". "As a user, when I click there I want to have a window with that input box and this text written here". Super useful! I know there's a proper way to do it ("as a senior compliance officer, I want a daily report about ABC"), but no one does it in practice.
