Instead of stand-ups let developers spend 15 minutes each day in a call with a customer who has a problem or feature request.
- loa_in_ 3y agoI would absolutely very much appreciate it as a developer, because nowadays,the motivational structures put in place rarely do anything for me but this would be a great: problem -> effort -> feedback -> closure -> motivation; loop element
- hgomersall 3y agoIsn't this sort of the theory behind scrum - having rapid feedback loops with the product owner that is (supposedly) the one that has the deep necessary insight into the problem?
- oezi 3y agoProduct owners are not real customers. Extreme Programming got that part covered much better.
- smeej 3y agoI've tried pushing for that idea to my manager at least quarterly at each of the last three companies I've worked for. Manager always agrees it would be a great idea. Engineers are never willing to do it.
- oezi 3y agoEngineers wouldn't never be willing to do standups or interviews if given a chance.
