| Dec 17, 2020 at 8:43 | comment | added | Vorac | @ИванГрозный I absolutely agree. But you missed "waiting for 45 minutes for people to speak 1on1 with the manager(but in front of everyone) that hey have not been lazing the last 24 hours, then doing it yourself". This "collaboration" really "enchances" my performance, especially on long term projects (days to weeks e.g. "write a portable app that fills the screen with triangles"). Such macro tasks are often needed on most projects. | |

SCRUM has become an impediment in itself with people introducing stricter rules that have nothing to do with the original Agile Manifesto. | |
| Dec 8, 2020 at 7:36 | comment | added | Laurent S. | When confronted with questions about cancelling ceremonies (and certainly the daily stand-up) , I always turn the reasoning around : "Why do you want to cancel it? Because it would be useless. OK, then instead of cancelling it, what can we do to make it useful?" | |
| Dec 7, 2020 at 18:32 | comment | added | paul23 | @Falco I will write a question someday, but the "problem" is that there are lots of problems: Ie I have to live in appartment where the neighbours are constantly singing/shouting with loud music. So much that it's hard to hold a telephone call. Others have trouble where they have to attend to children and thus cannot be active constantly (since children can't go to school we have to accept that for now).This means that focus has shifted from talking as much as possible, to making sure you need as few meetings as possible and still get stuff done. | |
| Dec 7, 2020 at 14:07 | comment | added | MCW | I think the headline is great - but I think there is a disconnect between the assumptions in the question and the answer. OP asserts that there are no issues; if there are no issues, then then there are no issues or blockers. At least to me, that indicates that the real answer is how the team plans together. How to get the team to identify issues & blockers; what is the real probability of zero issues? How to get a team to plan together (my experience is that coordination is not a natural activity for engineers). | |
| Dec 7, 2020 at 13:14 | comment | added | Cronax | @paul23 there are a whole slew of tools that allow 4+ people to hold a meeting over the internet and they work just fine even on a bad connection. The requirement is to hold it at the same time and place every day, holding a digital meeting every day at the same time fulfils this requirement. Having said that, if adding the small extra complexity of meeting in person rather than digitally when all team members are physically present in the same location and have an appropriate room available doesn't sound like it will break anything... | |
| Dec 7, 2020 at 12:44 | comment | added | Falco | @paul23 I think this just means if you really want to efficiently collaborate in a team you will need the technical basis so that all of them can talk to each other. If you are remote and your connection cannot support a meeting with everyone, I think you will need to split into smaller teams, until everyone in a team can in fact collaborate. - I think this could be a good question for this site you could ask! | |
| Dec 7, 2020 at 8:05 | comment | added | paul23 | Isn't this meaning that the idea of scrum is old fashioned in the post-corona era where working together simply means only meeting up at max once a week? Since we are not allowed to physically meet each day, and internet isn't good enough to actually meet with 4+ people. | |
