  • The Daily Stand-up Meeting is a part of many Agile Project Management approaches. But in my experience, the idea pre-dates Agile.
    I bet the pyramid builder gathered around the wineskin at the start of every day!
    But, the two specific ways of conducting a morning stand up, which I talk about in this video, are from approached used by many modern Agile practitioners.
    Keep them short. For a small team, 15 minutes is plenty for a daily stand up.
    Stand
    (of course). It helps with:
    - Energy
    - Pace
    Two Styles of Morning Stand-up…
    Round-robin (3 Questions) method
    - Yesterday
    - Today
    - Blockers / Impediments
    - Maybe with a token to show who's on
    Walking the board method
    Where there's a Kanban Board or similar
    - Move from Right to Left
    - Who owns it
    - Blockers
    - Support to shift them
    Detailed issues and side conversations parked and addressed afterward
    Flag if off-topic discussions - take them offline
    Adapt your process to refine it constantly

    Getting everyone aligned for the day, so you are all confident in where the project is at, and what each part of the team will be doing is a good discipline. And you don't need to be running an agile project to do it! If this isn't part of your process, have a look.

      They can be. But a proper stand-up meeting is for and buty the team doing the work and will proceed whether or not the manager is present. Like all management processes, they can be run well and to good effect, or subverted by personal interest or ineptitude.

      @@wetter4293 WEll, that's sasd. What you describe isn't what most PMs would call a daily stand-up. It is a daily stakeholder briefing (maybe one where people stand!) I guess it's the job of the PM to craft the most useful meetings and run them as well as possible. If you are in a position to change things, then please do.

    Walking the board is the worst. It devolves into a status update.

    I fu*** hate daily standups, it takes time from my tasks and usually useless as if you have a problem you reach someone who can help. Is better to set deadlines and focus on tasks, scrum is great to waste time.

      Jacek - some feedback for you. Be careful how you express yourself. This style does nothing to enhance your professional reputation and your point (which has merit and could be developed) gets lost. If you are trying to build a career, every step you take has consequences.

      I come from a background in predictive PM and also understand the values of goals, tasks, and deadlines. But we also need to communicate and course-correct. Daily stand-ups don't just happen in a scrum environment. Use them: don't use them. The question is one of utility. Sometimes they will help, so hold the. Sometimes they won't, so don't.
