it absolutely makes no difference to me to have standups, yet still we participate in them...
- To see who's working on what, I just look at the board. - To seek help when I get blocked, I send a message on Slack (or whatever) at the point that I need that help, not only at 9:30 AM - To know who's blocked on what, just tune to Slack
Given the above and if you have the team discipline to make sure that tickets reflect the state of work. Why do we need standups then?
That time can be more targeted towards a meaningful discussion, but the industry seem to be blindly just doing that without giving it much deeper thought. It baffles me.
