Do you hold daily standup meetings with your team, and if so, why are they important?
Standup meetings are a component of the Agile methodology. However, this same technique can be used in any profession in which a team needs to accomplish daily tasks or advance their progress on a project. As an IT professional, you are expected to be familiar with this term and to incorporate it in some manner into your operations. Interviewers will likely ask you about this to see how organized you are and how you manage your team.
"I do hold daily standup meetings with my team to review our tasks for that day, the progress we made during the previous day, and any upcoming events or projects we need to be aware of. This also allows the team to give me feedback and make suggestions on how we could better perform our duties. I also attend standup meetings with my department heads to apprise them of my team's activities and gain additional direction. I've found us to be a helpful technique was adopted for my Agile training."
