> You mean like the [insert ticketing system] board? Why do we have to waste time talking about stuff that's already being tracked? This doesn't fully excuse it, but the more closely management is watching team-work-coordination tools like ticketing systems, and the higher the level of management that's looking at them, the more prone they are to drift from reflecting reality. That a standup is, by default, not transparent and recorded for anyone else to look at, is, in some organizations, and if they're run properly, most of their value. Granted, yes, that's a work around for a broader cultural problem and shouldn't be necessary, but the real world's a mess.
