Daily scrum?
Apr 7th
So I find myself a Product Owner running 3 scrums per day, and I have several vastly different teams (except that all are understaffed). One in particular is a high-performing team in which the developer produces great work, but in which there is some frustration with the practice of meeting daily. So I’m thinking strongly about the idea of moving to twice-weekly scrums. There isn’t enough change between days to warrant a dedicated meeting, and the team is vocal enough to raise blockers when they exist.
In my readings about the practice, many are adherents to every nuance of Agile and Scrum, but I have to question this when I am not convinced of the value obtained from the practice. So, at this point my instinct is to try twice-a-week during the next sprint, and reevaluate during the retrospective.
Thoughts?
