Discussion on: Time to change how we do Stand-Ups

Thanks and I appreciate the perspective. I think sometimes a different format can help direct and remove some of these unnecessary workarounds. We place processes in place because people don't behave the way we want them to behave. In an ideal world where people would just do what we ask, we wouldn't really need checklists and processes and doing things in a certain format.

I'm just proposing an alternative because it's been clear from talking to many closer colleagues that face to face Stand-Ups can be a total waste of time and needs to change. Unfortunately, when I propose change, many are resistant and go back to old bad habits.

I totally understand your proposal, and I'm not trying to talk you out of it - if it works for your team, i would be really happy for you :)

The question i always ask myself when i read proposals like these is "would i want to work with a team that works like that?"
