[@aumiramax]

Can you please show how you log your issues on Jira? And how you create a transparent sprint retro impediments log on Jira? A video would help

[@alvinthepmofficial]

Glad you found the video helpful, will add that to my list for future videos. Do you currently struggle with capture issues and your retrospective lessons?

[@aumiramax]

@ Yeah. We struggle with a having a system/tool to capture all issues and retro problems. In order to create a living document, do we document on Jira or confluence?? How and why?

[@car4674]

[@sanjaysheth1325]

Where there are inputs required on issue/s from other team members, in that case dont you think it will be best to discuss the issue and possible resolution on the call itself?

[@8233000]

Have you encountered team members who are resistant to daily stand-ups and feel that they are a waste of time?

[@alvinthepmofficial]

Absolutely, on projects of my own, I've had team members who feel like stand-ups are a waste of time. I've found that by having conversations with them separately and the value it can bring, helps remove some of the resistance. Also, having the buy-in of Leadership/Management and/or the support of another more Senior Team Member greatly helps! I've found from personal experience that the words from someone else who sees value in it (could be another Engineer/Developer/Tester/Leader), can greatly sway the influence of others

[@craxity]

As a dev I have to say that daily standups are an enormous waste of time. A dev loses 40 to 60 minutes of focused work and gains nothing meaningful. Maybe a standup would be less harmful if it was the last thing you do in the day.

[@richardedozie4494]

40-60??? That’s not a daily standup 😂😂 that’s almost a sprint review or backlog refinement. A daily standup should normally not be more than 15mins. It’s not a meeting to swarm around a blocker. That should be done outside of the daily standup. Your agile leader should review this, you can also bring this up during process review (retro).

[@craxity]

@richardedozie4494 A human needs 30 minutes to get focused again. And a dev can't work focused some minutes before a stand up begins. But people who don't do work, like PMs, can't understand that. That's why I suggested to move the stand up to the end of the working day.
