It shouldn't matter that an update is boring or exciting or something inbetween. There should be no penalties for saying "I'm still working on the same problem", thus no incentive for taking smaller stories. | |
| May 29, 2020 at 21:26 | comment | added | BKB | I feel like you're ignoring the fact that the OP is doing scrum properly. They are having stand-ups each day, as prescribed. They are giving status updates: what did I do yesterday, and what will I do today, as prescribed. Then the scrum master moves the tickets to their appropriate status, as prescribed. The issue is, when a standup is run, as prescribed, it puts the developers with long tasks at a disadvantage, since your updates are always boring. Thus, there's an incentive to take smaller stories, to show progress, or provide very detailed updates, to impress people. | |

Yes, if everyone were doing the right thing you will succeed no matter what method you are following. But that is not the point, the point is whether the method will help or has some issues of its own that will work against the end result. "You should not do that" is not a falsification of the statement there are some negative incentives in the method itself. | |
