Re: [extremeprogramming] Origin of term "standup"?

It's one of those things that  seem to have gone horribly horribly wrong
out in the wild.....

Way back when, when I still believed standups  to be a Good Idea, people
came together, and didn't bother to sit because it was going to be so short.

They said, mostly by pointing at/moving the sticky on the board what they
were working on, and if they were stuck, asked for help. (Which wasn't
given in the standup)

Done.

Back to work.

2 minutes max, all done.

Sigh!
