Re:3 Tips for Effective Stand-Up Meetings by squarecat on Monday September 17, 2012 @11:48AM (#4533096)
This was a relevant post regarding any meeting for a tight-knit team with a focused objective. Which is to say, the one undeniable benefit is uninterrupted, distraction-free communication.

That said, if you're a resource to multiple teams/projects, many meetings just seem to become a sick joke where you talk about everything and do nothing.

P.S. I'm probably just being cynical, but I dislike when I can't tell where the helpfulness stops and the PR starts in these type of posts (company with stake in topic.) No disrespect intended to the OP...

Hey squarecat,

thanks a lot for chiming in. I don't think you're cynical. I try to write about useful stuff but of course producing content is a form of content marketing.

That said I try to be conscious about not being spammy and I think there is a way to pull it off :) Any feedback highly appreciated. I plan to write much more in the future and definitely don't want to come across spammy.
