Yet, here I am, to say we are all doing it wrong.
The daily standup should have no managers at all in it, its for the team, and its for understanding blockers and progress.
Another issue that pervades is that of organisation: One of the hardest parts of leadership for me has been trying to understand the distinction between team and task/project, because projects require more collaboration than single discipline teams do: but we conduct capital-A Agile across single discipline team boundaries. I’m too shy to break everyones mental model of how they should work because…
It’s always this way in every company I ever worked, as it is with managers/leads in standups.
I have no idea why, we prescribe scrum instead of using our brains, and we don’t listen to the core instructions given even then- of course it doesn’t work.
