I found that 'daily standup' popular in some tech companies absolutely kills motivation.
I've never procrastinated more, like literally for months, than when I had to report progress on daily basis.
What happens is the reporting itself becomes the target not the actual task to be done.

- revskill 5y agoIt depends on the team. Daily standup is good if you need help or other need help from you. It's fine that you're still investigating things and need/raise issues ASAP for the team to know and maybe fix it for all the team. It's a team effort/collaboration that makes daily standup useful.
- roamingdave 5y agoTotally agree. I've seen it go both ways, one where it's a total drain and waste of time, another where the best thinking, best solutions and ideas all came out during stand-up. I suppose getting that right team is what makes an awesome manager though right?
