During most of the time at <current company> I've had a standup in the morning, one in the afternoon, and I have to put my daily summary in a chat room so that more people (architects, CTO) know what I'm doing. I'm a developer. In the past when I was a manager I hated making my team do standups. In fact, one reason I quit was that I got a new boss who was an agile evangelist and I had to implement things his way. I didn't like how it made us less efficient and eventually quit. One thing I did as a manager was for pre-sprint planning each developer would meet with the product manager for 10mins, one on one, which the team loved by the way. Instead of giant 1-2 hour grooming session. I think I was an effective manager, but no company wanted to hire me because nobody works like that, so I went back into development. I hope that my company keeps growing so I can do the things the way I want and keep as much BS as I want out of my life (or delegate it, I guess).
