We decided early on that a daily scrum was just too frequent to be effective for our team, so went to 2x per week. When we started working from home, we added a "keep in touch" meeting for the other 3 days of the week just to stay connected.
- mixologic 6y agoOur standups (for a team of four) are about 15 minutes. Then we just leave the zoom on and co-work together out loud for an hour or two. It's pretty priceless the stuff that comes up during that time.
- lydon 6y agoAlways thought this will be useful, but never had a chance to experience it. What kind of stuffs come up?
- GordonS 6y agoYep, not being dogmatic about standups having to be daily, or indeed about any process, is invariably a win - do what works for the team! I'm working in a small team just now, just 5 of us, and a short, daily standup is working well for us - and it's usually finished in 7 minutes or so. In my last project (where I wasn't leading the standups), the teams were bigger, 10 people in each, and they went.on.forever. Neither the scrum master or PM were strict at curtailing them or keeping them relevant. Everyone hated it.
