…Gatekeeping? I'm hardly trying to control access to something. I'm preventing developers from having their focus time squandered.
Anyway…
From your article:
> This made me realize that the real value of a daily standup isn’t the meeting itself. It’s the time that comes after it. Considering this, let’s stop trying to optimize the daily standup itself. Instead, use it as a catalyst to get our teammates away from their desks. Use the standup to start a conversation, but trust the team to finish it.
This is oddly contradictory. You concede that daily standups aren't actually valuable. You say you trust your team to terminate the discussion at an appropriate point, but for some reason you don't trust your team to initiate that conversation when they see fit.
How does that work?
> this is a good article
Well… you would say that, wouldn't you? Didn't you write it?
