Skip the Daily Stand-Up

I just got back in from vacation, and began catching up on my e-mail and reading. The Cranky Product Manager wrote a great post, describing why it’s not practical for the Product Manager to participate in every Agile meeting ever held! The Cranky Product Manager hit this one on the head – if we are in the building, who will figure out what to do next? In an Agile world, it’s easy for Product Managers to get sucked into the development cloud. To succeed, we have to be aware of that tendency, and fight it…or we will quickly lose touch with the market that we’re supposed to be serving!
