This is an appropriate amount of rage for a standup that went too long.
And, I agree with the author; most stories in most sprints never get done (for a million reasons, 999,999 of them foundational) and just roll over from sprint to sprint to sprint until the inevitable collapse of the company (via M&A).
- zamalek 3y agoI don't think the rage is totally uncalled for. A 15 minute standup on a 5 person team is actually over a full hour lost. Put another way, a company with 50 engineers doing 15 minute standup every day is over 400 work days of lost productivity each year - basically 2 engineers extra. Assuming that stand-ups result in increased productivity, and that's a big assumption (likely exactly the opposite to the reality), have you really tallied up how much it's making vs how much it's costing? It certainly makes me mad.
- apple4ever 3y agoExactly! Standups are so wasteful, I cannot believe companies actually think they are okay. This from the article really sums it up: > Which absolute fucking maniac in this room decided that the most sensible thing to do in a culture where everyone has way too many meetings was schedule recurring meetings every day?
- gsinclair 3y agoGP said the rage was appropriate. I think you responded as if GP said the rage was inappropriate. Or did I miss an edit?
