Making Daily Standups .... Interesting: Day 6

A Viking hat with Germany's national colors is today's entry into the standup hat contest.

It is kinda hard to take him seriously with these ridiculous looking hats, but it does make it more interesting.

Standups have become better recently, but I still think that there could be more improvement that would make standup meaningful for those involved.

  1. An idea to make stand ups more effective.

    First start with everybody talking about any road blocks they have. Because the idea is to swarm to take down a road block(s) which is stopping work. This can be done as a general question to the group, rather than going AROUND the room.

    Only after ALL road blocks are addressed then going around the room to know what people are working on today could be done.

  2. I like that idea and we are kind of doing that now. We stopped going around the room and having everybody talk about what they did yesterday, what they are doing today, and what roadblocks they may have.

    How to make it so that I care what people are talking about who are working on unrelated items and still make it meaningful to those who are telling us what they are working on - I'm still mulling over that now and again.
