Yet another way that the good ideas from Agile got crushed to meaninglessness by Business Idiocy.

The whole point of the “stand up meeting” is, by forcing everyone to stand together, to encourage everyone to keep it brief and to the point, so it benefits everyone without sucking their time.

    Of course, that works only when everyone's in the same room. I don't have a good replacement for teams that connect remotely.

    It also is framed quite insensitively to those who can't stand each day for multiple minutes at a time. Fortunately, accommodations can be made without much reducing the purpose of the procedure.

    We have a NeatBoard that's configured for Zoom. So our stand ups are in front of this TV thing and it works well for us.

    Then again, our stand ups are short and to the point. We're closer to kanban than scrum.
