Why Standup?

Here is the plan.

How engaged is Sodium Halogen?

If we are truly trying to teach a team everything we know and do, then we should be having standup.

  • William pairs with the client team for first standup to show the pattern
  • Each day, the whole product team drop in EOD standup into a #standup chat channel
  • The client team has daily standups each morning (they pick a time)
  • Braden attends 1 standup a week in person (Thursday?) 

The Why

  • Increase communication
    - Reduce any wait, worry and wonder.
    - Everyone knows what everyone is working on.
  • Sharing information for all to hear helps disseminate information. See: Bus-coefficiency
  • Surface what is holding the team back.

The How

  • Type it first: Type in your EOD standup the day before (yesterday/today/blockers)
  • Meet Everyday: 9am team meets everyday (any fixed time works)
  • Callbacks: To prevent interruptions, save topics to discuss to the end for all to hear.
  • Parking lots: note 5on2s (ex: *cs) then have 5on2s right after standup
