The Scrum team at XYZ company had been struggling with their daily stand-up meetings. They were often disorganized, unproductive, and seemed to drag on for hours. The team knew they needed to make a change, so they decided to try a new approach.
First, they set a strict time limit for the meetings, limiting them to 15 minutes. This helped keep the meetings focused and on track. They also made sure that each team member came prepared with a clear update on their progress and any blockers they were facing.
To further improve the meetings, they introduced a new practice called “dot voting.” At the beginning of each meeting, the team would present a list of items that needed to be discussed. Then, each team member would be given three dots that they could use to vote on the items they felt were most important. This helped the team prioritize their discussions and stay focused on the most pressing issues.
The changes to the Scrum meetings were an immediate success. The team was able to stay on track and get through their updates much more quickly. They were also able to identify and address any issues more efficiently, which helped them stay on track and meet their project deadlines.
Overall, the team was thrilled with the results of their new approach to Scrum meetings. They were able to improve their productivity, increase their team cohesion, and deliver better results for their customers.
