People who have injuries or are otherwise unable to stand can certainly sit. The point of standing however is specifically because it gets uncomfortable when you do it for too long. This prevent standups from turning into 30 minute or longer meetings.
- jebblue 14y ago>> People who have injuries or are otherwise unable to stand can certainly sit. How do you think that makes us feel?
- tcharron 14y agoThat would certainly be something to bring up with your team if you do regular retrospectives. The purpose of standing is to keep the meeting short and focused. Can you think of alternative ways that your team can ensure that the meeting is short and focused that doesn't require standing? If so, suggest them (or see what your team members suggest) and try them out!
- jebblue 14y agoI think you are missing the point that I'm making which is quite simple. Requiring people to stand up is a discriminatory practice and that puts companies at significant legal risk. Recommendation? We sit and the meetings are short or long or don't happen at all on an as needed basis. Don't force your cure on those of us who do not have your ill.
