- danw 18y agoSounds a bit like Scrum (the agile methodology). The Surgeon/Anaesthesia/Nursing teams reviewing what has been/needs to be done out loud to each other is similar to a daily stand up and the initial sprint planning meeting in a scrum team. Saying things out loud to each other makes a social bargain that they will/have been done.
