Scenario 1: The team has a scheduled daily

stand-up at 9 am in the morning. The


meetings usually take over an hour. A lot of
time is spent discussing a tricky dependency
between several tasks that requires extensive
conversation.
 Diagnosis: The team's daily stand-up
meetings extend beyond an hour due to
extensive discussions on a tricky task
dependency. The issue lies in the lack of
pre-meeting preparation,
documentation, and focused
discussions. Implementing strategies
such as pre-meeting discussions, task
breakdown sessions, and timeboxing
can streamline communication and
make the stand-up meetings more
efficient.

Remedy: To resolve the issue of prolonged


daily stand-up meetings, particularly due to
extensive discussions on a complex task
dependency, consider implementing the
following resolution:
1.Pre-Meeting Documentation: Encourage
team members to document tricky
dependencies and potential roadblocks
before the stand-up. This ensures that
discussions are more focused, with team
members coming prepared with solutions
or suggestions.
2.Pre-Meeting Discussions: Schedule brief
pre-meetings with relevant team members
to discuss the tricky dependency in
advance. This allows the team to address
complexities before the stand-up, making
the main meeting more concise and
focused on progress updates and critical
blockers.
