In SPaMCAST 561 we discuss making the Daily Scrum work for the mission it was intended. When a Daily Scrum or daily stand-up is not used for micro-planning and collaborating to achieve the team’s goal, they are occurring for a reason. Those meetings are scratching some other itch than planning, an itch that however unagile is often defended.
