Daily stand-ups are a classic example of learned helplessness. We all know they’re useless, but we tell ourselves “that’s just how things are” and do nothing about it.

In this episode, I’ll explain the actual goal of a stand-up and why it’s a productive meeting to have, providing teams to do it right. Furthermore, I’ll explain what “right” means and the nuance involved in tailoring the stand-up meeting to suit your needs. As usual in Software Engineering, there’s no such thing as “one size fits all”.
