I am getting the feeling that there is a whole set of these cargo-cult "best practices" like standups, "1-1's", retrospectives and so on. They're not stupid ideas, but they often seem implemented in a way where... "that's the done thing", rather than something evolved organically. I'm not a 'process guy' though so I have no idea what to replace these things with, if anything.
