+I had an unexpected and not entirely unpleasant experience in a recent retrospective meeting: all of the engineers on the team moved to stop having daily standup meetings altogether. Although I'm no stranger to working without standup meetings, and in many ways I prefer that way of working, I don't think it's unreasonable to suggest that the majority of engineers are fine with well-structured daily standups.
+
+Even with a team that enjoys standup meetings however, there's value in breaking the norm, becoming more flexible, and trying things out. Maybe such a team would settle back into daily standups, maybe they'd find something else that works for them. Teams which don't enjoy their standups though will almost certaily settle on a new scheme.
+
+I sat down to type out a guide on how and why a team might experiment with alternative approaches to the daily standup. But that came out so incredibly dry I weaved those points into a story demonstrating a hypothetical team undergoing that process. That resulted in something which I'm not entirely sure got the point across. But then I remembered that ChatGPT (insert eye roll here) is actually pretty good at generating Shakespearean sonnets (insert double eye roll here). So, I ran my story through the ringer and I present to you **A Scrum Odyssey: A journey away from daily scrum meetings, as a cycle of eight Shakespearean sonnets**:
+
+# The Rite of Dawn's Assembly
+
+In days of yore, where standups held their sway,
+Religious teams to this rite did cling tight.
+Believing in its might, they'd all display
+Their tasks and toils, at morning's first light.
+
+“'Tis the only path!” they’d loudly decree,
+To boost our voice and our work's potency.
+Yet, in this sea of daily scrutiny,
+Did they e'er question its necessity?
+
+For in their hearts, joy and productivity,
+Seemed hand in hand with scrum's consistency.
+But having not trod another pathway,
+How sure were they, in their daily ballet?
+
+To question not is to be but a drone,
+Yet change may show more ways than they've known.
+
+# Whispers 'Midst the Court of Teams
+
+As time doth pass, objections loud do cry,
+Standups draw long, and patience wears so thin.
+Some feel the gaze of oversight too nigh,
+Whilst others sigh at tales they're lost within.
+
+The daily rite, once held in high esteem,
+Now burdens hearts, and feels not quite so lean.
+"Maintain the stand!" the managers exclaim,
+"For knowledge's spread, 'tis the only regime."
+
+Another quips, "'Tis how we stay aligned!"
+Yet in their hearts, a restlessness they find.
+The status quo, now feels a heavy chain,
+With every voice, there grows a silent pain.
+
+Unease doth spread, as waters dark and deep,
+The team in hope, for change they might yet reap.
+
+# Into Uncharted Councils Steered
+
+In growing dissent, the teams make their stand,
+To question the rites of daily discourse.
+With keen eyes they search, across the vast land,
+For new methods, their spirit to endorse.
+
+The captains do doubt, and their concerns voice,
+Yet vibrant ideas do from teams arise.
+"Demos!" cries one, "Let our works make their noise!",
+Another suggests, one-on-one 'neath the skies.
+
+Pair programming, reviews, new tactics bloom,
+As weary traditions begin to wane.
+The tides of change, they sweep away the gloom,
+Old ways dissolve, as new paths become plain.
+
+Thus in the dance of time and adaptability,
+Teams find their stride, and new possibility.
+
+# Quests in the Halls of Converse
+
+In search of ways, the teams diverge their path,
+Asynchronous rites, emails that they pen,
+Fewer meets they seek, to avoid the wrath,
+Of daily drudgery, again and again.
+
+More intimate chats, one-on-one they hold,
+In pair programming, they sharpen their skill.
+Exploring each method, both new and old,
+They weigh every boon, every bitter pill.
+
+Managers, once stern, now their gaze doth shift,
+Witnessing changes, benefits unfold.
+Yielding their ground, as sands of time do sift,
+Embracing the new, releasing the old.
+
+In the grand ballet of work's ebb and flow,
+Teams evolve, and brighter futures they sow.
+
+# Where Two Worlds in Concert Meet
+
+From all the trials, some choices do emerge,
+Asynchronous standups, the globe's teams cheer.
+For visual minds, digital boards surge,
+As preferred tools, their thoughts to make clear.
+
+Meetings grow few, much to all's delight,
+Those that remain, are purposeful and keen.
+Gone are the days of endless oversight,
+In place, moments of value are seen.
+
+"Support!" cry the captains, in newfound glee,
+Feeling the strength of their teams' tethered core.
+From the throes of old, they now are set free,
+Bonded and strong, as never before.
+
+From trials and tests, the best paths are clear,
+Teams and their leaders, in harmony steer.
+
+# Musing on Fortune's Fickle Hand
+
+With shifts in tide, come trials unforeseen,
+Some souls do long for morning meetings past.
+An anchor lost, in routines once serene,
+Others claim that commitment's not so vast.
+
+Managers note, their gaze oft on boards dwell,
+More than before, in this changed paradigm.
+For in each change, some benefits dispel,
+Replaced by costs, in this evolving time.
+
+"No method’s perfect," the team concedes true,
+Every path has its toll, its weight to bear.
+But in pursuit of what’s best, they pursue,
+Balancing gains, with costs they must wear.
+
+In life’s grand dance of loss and of gain,
+Teams learn to thrive, through pleasure and pain.
+
+# Melding Yesteryears with the Morrow
+
+From experiments vast, wisdom teams glean,
+Blending the best from methods they've tried.
+A hybrid emerges, both fresh and seen,
+Balancing old and new, side by side.
+
+Asynchronous notes, for days in-between,
+With face-to-face meets, weekly they decide.
+Though returning to paths once before seen,
+They come renewed, with broader stride.
+
+Most vital of all, in this new phase,
+Teams claim their process, its reins they hold.
+Each member engaged, in collective praise,
+For a system by them, shaped and molded.
+
+From trials diverse, a way they have found,
+Where every voice in harmony does sound.
+
+# Ascendance Beyond Time's Norms
+
+In newfound grace, the teams now flex and bend,
+Having learnt the worth of norms held askew.
+Witnessed have they, to what change can tend,
+The boon of steps, both retraced and anew.
+
+The culture's hue, to feedback does incline,
+Embracing shifts, with open arms and heart.
+Where once was rigidity, now they entwine
+Flexibility, as their foremost art.
+
+Managers see, that control's grip too tight,
+Does not always lead to the best of ways.
+Productivity, in this newfound light,
+Reaches peaks unseen, to everyone's praise.
+
+From challenging norms, to heights unforeseen,
+They've journeyed forth, with purpose evergreen.
