Are you feeling conflicted? Not sure which stand-ups you need to attend and which you can skip? Just look to the 11th Agile Principle: “Self-Governing Teams Work Best!” If you are on multiple product teams you should not feel obligated to attend every single stand-up. Here are some guidelines to help you prioritize:
DO attend a stand-up when
DON’T attend a stand-up when
Communication is the key to every successful team, so speak with the team lead about when they need you at a stand-up and when you can skip it.
If the meetings become counter-productive remember Agile Principle #12: “Reflect, Adjust, Repeat.”
