Initially, the writer found standup meetings in their job exciting and motivating, as it provided a sense of being part of a dynamic team with varied tasks.
Over time, as projects became slower and repetitive, the writer started dreading standup meetings, feeling like they were just narrating known information and struggling to stay engaged.
With company evolution and changing work dynamics, standup meetings lost their effectiveness, leading to experimentation with different formats but none proving very successful for the writer.
Realizing the importance of communication and alignment within the team, the writer reintroduced daily standup meetings with a focused and purposeful approach, leading to increased visibility, issue identification, and improved team synergy.
