Is the Daily Stand-Up meeting important?

December 31, 2017 Posted by eroltutumlu No comments
I would like to share my thoughts about Daily Stand-up meetings in agile development.  I am going to touch on advantages/disadvantages without going into detail.

If you're familiar with Scrum, you probably heard 'Daily Stand-up Meeting' before. Even though I have a bit more than 1 year of experience as an Intern Student at startups, I can say that these daily magical meetings bring you adequate work environment. Let's look at why is it good for companies? Basically, meetings mean communication that means the key to the progression so then the company can go forward. Taking action is always an important matter in life as well as while developing a project. Making these meetings are important because this a time that the whole team is together so the team can argue what was the outcome and where we are now in terms of product. The result can give the best possible output. Actually, this is one of the cycles of the agile methodology. It can carry you to the next level.

Basically following lines are important:

- What did you do yesterday?
- Have you done something or do you still continue to work?
- Did you encounter any problem while you were doing it?
- What are you gonna do today?

When your turn comes up, just say basic things. Force yourself to be up and tell them your speech. Don't say very complex sentences because this is not a competition and time is valuable. If you have trouble with something, tell them and maybe they know the solution. You should also say if you comment something or rename a function name.

Let me know if it makes sense to you, leave a comment.
