Reminds me of my first startup in the US. When things got difficult, we had daily 30 minute status meetings. Then things still didn't go fast enough so everybody had to attend 2 30 minute status meetings every day. It was just nuts. I tried to tell upper management that probably nothing important will change every day and even less likely in half a day but no luck.
- sli 4y agoYeah, I've been there, too. Daily standups start out as standups but then turn into 1-2 hour long meetings first thing in the morning. Consequentially, those meetings had negative effects on productivity, because the entire team would be stuck there on the call while the manager talks to one person at length. Usually the same one person, at that. I don't miss that place at all.
