standup

The 'standup' reminders were a core component of the watch introduction by Apple.

Whether this be IRC/HipChat/Slack, a good Kanban board, daily standup, a Hangout etc..

I even frequently can't attend a standup or other meeting because someone is in the room who shouldn't be.

We enable engineers to focus on what they can to best, letting them work on new products in small, highly interdisciplinary teams, as well as getting rid of management overhead and daily standup meetings.

Hacker News, sports fans, standup comedians, book clubs, students in college, nerdfighters, groups organizing around hobbies and interests, groups of friends.

Hacker News is very centralized: there's one main view that 99% of people see, and the vagaries of whether you end up on it are dependent on whether the train of someone who might upvote it was late today, or whether standup ran over.

It takes work to establish your culture to work remotely well -- if you just hire some people that you only ever hear on Skype during standup and give them work, they don't become enmeshed in the fabric of the company.

At my current company we have a daily standup meeting for everyone where the CTO is in on it (can you say micromanager?) and it's just a hassle because you know he's going to come back a few hours later to each of us and ask for a status report anyway.

> she wanted regular standups even though it was just her and myself for many of the minor projects This was the most hilarious part of my last company; they hadn't hired any coders yet and I was expected to do a standup meeting with myself and two of my managers.

If you need some extra time on your story to compensate for that work, just bring it up at standup and we will modify the sprint commitment".
