What actually happened was someone would talk about a problem he was having, then someone else would offer to help. It worked well.
The PMs were good at things like sourcing the squeaky toy (a very vicious-looking plastic rat in one case) used to stop people who went on too long, and looking after the beer kitty funded by those who were late without a good excuse - oh, and moving the PostIt notes around the board so as to give the impression of things happeningComment

I booted a "PM" out of one of our Scrum meetings cos he couoldn't stop putting his oar in. The deal was that the devs would meet every morning for 10 mins and talk about what they had done and what they were going to do, plus any blocks. No other chat was permotted (apart from the lads sorting out the jobs for the day). But this bloke just kept on wittering... so I kicked him out.

He came round to the idea in the end, when he saw that stuff got delivered on time, but it was uphill work,+50 Xeno Geek Points
