I really don't like our morning daily standups. They're kind of annoying, feels like kindergarten and I sometimes have to repeat myself because someone's too slow at taking notes from our talking.

Wondering if asynchronous standups would work better.

What would async standups look like? You'd all start talking at the same time? ._.

@Hazarth No it means which team members provides status updates using a chat channel or another async communication system

I feel like when it's async. People don't read them and you lose the value of standup anyway o.o

Lots of tools do audio transcription now. Maybe that'd help?

I hear you! ♥️

@MeowHeart standup is not too check if people are slacking off.

Also. We have a pretty successful model for async standup.

And we have one priority discussion meeting every other day where we check progress and verify that we're working on the right stuff.

Pairing is encouraged to help unblock anyone stuck. And that's that. We've been deploying to prod almost daily with this model. Sometimes even more than once a day.

@iceb That's true for people who actually work together. I'm basically a department on my own lol. I manage the company's website, and all the other devs do completely different stuff, they don't even have the same tech stack as I do, nobody else works on the website. So yeah, it's mostly why I was wondering about async.

@dissolvedgirl oh yeah. in that case I'd say it doesn't make sense.

In agile sense you wouldn't even be on the same agile team
