5 Ways to Add More Fun to Your Daily Stand-Ups
<p>Going to a daily stand-up can get stale pretty quickly: the same people, same topics at the same time — eeeeevery day. It doesn’t have to be that way though! Even if you work in the most corporate of environments, you can add a little fun to your daily meeting. Adults truly are just big kids and any way you can channel your inner five-year-old is bound to make stand-ups more interesting. Here are five ways I’ve found to inject more fun into stand-ups whether you’re a Scrum master, a product manager, or a team member.
