trackback
Finally it’s my turn to write a post again, exactly on the day of IPhone 3G launch (If you are one of the people who camped outside Oxford Street O2 store, I do hope it is worth the trouble) 
As for V-Base3, we did our first online “stand up” meeting yesterday. “Stand up meeting” is our friendly name for “Daily Scrum Meetings,” a practice of agile software development with Scrum. I had to wear the Scrum Master’s hat for 15 minutes to facilitate the meeting. It came to mind an idea to have an online “stand up” meeting instead. Firstly, this time round we have no update on the board for this iteration (i.e. the implementation for this iteration is completed and developers have been testing since the previous day). And one of us who was working from home on the day can join in. Wearing the Scrum Master’s hat is a nice experience (being in control!), though I am happy to pass the hat back today.
Online "Stand Up" Meeting
If you are not sure of what Scrum is and how it relates to “Ham and Chicken,” I suggest clicking on the link. The section about Scrum roles is particularly interesting.
Why not just have a conference call? The objective of a stand-up is good interaction. I don’t see how you get that even typing 80 words per minute. The phone seems much more ‘natural’ for remote involvement.
Hi Jon, I can see where you are coming from. In my previous role, we used to have video conference calls with the guys from other countries. The room was booked and well prepared. Last Friday, the decision was made 5 minutes before the stand up meeting.

Hi All,
Just to say that the screen shot is great – shows the flow of a standup meeting quite well if a little stunted/short – as such I hope you don’t mind if I use it in a lecture I am giving tomorrow at the LSE. Sorry for the late request, but hopefully since I am part of the youthnet family you will forgive me.
Best wishes
Will Venters
