Feed Description: Jared's weblog.
The web site was created after the launch of the book "Ship It!" and discusses issues from Continuous Integration to web hosting providers.
I am involved with two teams who both have short daily meetings (SCRUM style meetings). Over time these meetings can fall into a bit of rut so we try to find ideas to break up the routine a bit.
One way is to have the last person who shared select the next person to share. Of course, this also tends to fall into the same rut. People tend to pick the person to their right or left and you end up going in the same circle you were trying to avoid.
So we created a next person selection rule.
You can't select anyone to your right or left unless there are no other selections available.
Letting people pick the next person is actually quite fun. We got the idea from Matt Bass who learned it while working with Ken Auer. You wouldn't think such a simple change would make much of a difference... who else has a tip or two to share? Mail them in and I'll post a follow-up.
