Once my 2nd-line boss complained to me that he had no idea what I was working on and why it seemed like nothing was getting done. I told him that every morning there is a stand-up meeting, which he attended, where his whole organization spends a collective man-day of work, while each of us give 5 to 10 minute updates on what we are working on, the obstacles we are facing, and what would need to be done to enable us to finish our tasks. What more could we be doing to inform him of what we were working on and what could be done to speed things up? Well, the daily meetings stopped, but I'm sure nobody will be surprised that the bastard fired me a few weeks later anyways.
