Stand Up Meetings

During our stand up meetings we have been 'mixing it up' a little. Initially it started out with going round the team members and each one stating what they have been working on yesterday, what they are working on today and providing estimates of tasks allocated to them.

Lately we have started doing our stand up meetings based upon the story, so we go through each story and discuss the progress. I find this a far more effective stand up as a) everyone should be working on a task and therefore everyone gets a chance to speak b) the progress of each story is much more obvious c) there is less digression during the meeting and d) it re-aligns focus.

I think the latter process works very well, that's not to discard the former though as there are times when the former is more effective (especially at the beginning of a sprint).
