But why am I waiting for a standup to raise issues/blockers.
Nearly every company has a team chat now. And even before team chats became popular email lists existed.
And if you’re co-located then you just ask your neighbors.
I never have any issues to raise in standup because I’ve already raised/resolved them.
- VinzO 4y agoExactly this. Why should we wait next day standup to discuss blockers? This is non sense.
- piva00 4y agoIn the few cases those need some synchronisation, further discussion and knowledge-sharing across everyone in the team, it's a time set for that to happen. Anything else can be discussed asynchronous, when the need for some synchronisation happens the stand-up is a good way to tackle it in a iterative way. Everyone knows what to expect. By the way I'm not disagreeing with you, my current team (and the best teams I've worked with) don't need a daily stand-up, just a recurring time slot available for a synch time when people feel the need. People can show up when they want.
- noisy_boy 4y agoBecause everyone may not be available all the time except standup when all hands are on the deck. Or maybe the discussion is better done face to face. Or maybe the issue happened just before standup and the timings aligned with standup. Or any of the myriad reasons. The example also doesn't preclude raising issues outside of standup.
