Send tortuous stand-up ‘nine-thirty’ meetings back to the dark ages

You're doing it wrong...

1) Too many people - a stand up should be 15 minutes max, that can only be achieved with a reasonably small team. If your team's too big for that, break down your project into smaller areas.

2) Don't take "stand up" literally - for one thing it discriminates against the disabled, for another it defeats the object of working as a developer, which surely is to minimise one's physical activity to the greatest extent possible.

3) Who needs to actually see other people? Do it on the phone, preferably from your bedroom, in your pants (if you feel like dressing up for the occasion). This gives much greater scope for multi-tasking.

4) 9:30? Waaay too early. Leave it for at least another hour, who's awake at 9:30?

Anonymous cos I'm at work and just about to phone in to my "stand up"
