Oh ya, if you read my replies around this thread (I’m not suggesting you should) I’m saying that it’s “to each their own.” I’m only defending stand up as a concept, but if a team doesn’t find it valuable they shouldn’t do it (same goes for all rituals and meetings). I’m realizing now there is a distinction on where the discussion is “I’m being forced to do stand up and it sucks” vs “This is why I like stand up.” As someone in the latter camp, if your standup is a soul-sucking status report (pr just plain soul-sucking), then atop doing it! And yet, your company is forcing you to do it. And that sucks.
- sanderjd 4y agoYeah totally, I got the sense that we agree on "to each their own" but land in different places. The unfortunate thing is that it's totally possible (indeed common) for members of a team to come down in different places on this. So you could have half the team's eyes glazing over every day while the other half of the team would lament losing the ritual.
