Daily standup

…the development team is working within a sprint.

✣  ✣  ✣

Keeping track of the status of outstanding work keeps everyone's eye on the ball and helps planning your day.

Forces:

• too much time between meetings and you lose track;
• too little time between meetings creates too much overhead;
• too much detail about the status takes too long and sucks the energy out;
• too little detail about the status takes you in the dark;
• too much horizon for planned tasks makes you forget about them;
• too little horizon for planned tasks makes you lose direction.

Therefore:

Have a short inspect-adapt meeting, that lasts at most 15 minutes, every day.

To process

• use a ‘talking ball’ to self-organize who speaks and give everyone attention;
• discuss who can be at the standup and their etiquette
• PO must be there regularly;
• SM may or may not attend; team can be autonomous, not needing SM;
