Contractor 'til I die

I'm not convinced of the value of morning stand ups, but I'm always a lot more agile after my morning sit down.
 
One place used to have one hour daily standups, but you had to book the standup time to a project you were working on rather than admin :mad

So ship things on time, we started dropping more features, to allow for the standups on the schedule :freaky:

Oh dear. The whole point of a stand up is that the meeting doesn't take long because people don't want to stand for very long. Some clientcos really are run by cretins.

The ones I've attended have all been "seated" standups and have ran on for a while.

I however used to stand near the window and be a brief as possible

Oh well, see my avatar and make sure you follow the hour long 'seated stand up' with a 20 pound dump. Seated.
 
I have found at a lot of organisations the morning stand-up is just a box-ticking exercise for the project manager and very little is actually achieved.
