Daily stand-ups are mostly also not really that useful - but getting team together so they are used to at least 15-20 mins talking to each other I believe has benefits anyway.
The same with writing unit tests, I see my team is writing too many useless unit tests. But then if we have habit of writing tests - important tests will get written as well. If we would skip tests and say that we write only "important ones" then I saw that no tests were written in period where we had such an approach.
- jraph 5y ago> Daily stand-ups are mostly also not really that useful This is my feeling. Wouldn't a weekly meeting where we don't need to stand up be sufficient for this? I guess it depends on the people and how they function. And how the team communicates throughout the day or the week.
- Wiseacre 5y agoMy team's daily stand up is incredibly useful. If we didn't find them useful we would have no problem moving them to 2 or 3 times a week. YMMV but as a team lead I hate taking up more of people's time than necessary.
- ozim 5y agoI think nowadays when we have video call everyone is sitting anyway. So you know maybe you can cheat :) no one will notice if you add background.
