i am not very familiar with scrum. it was my understanding that daily standup is part of a regular scrum. so you make a plan for a week or two, and talk about the progress every day. this is what i did with my students last year. in the daily standup every student reports what they worked on since the standup, and what they plan to work on next. we did that on irc, so students would write their reports. after the reports we discuss issues. one issue i found is, that it gets a little one-sided if there is only one student (i had two unrelated projects, so one student was alone, but i made her report in the #pharo channel), so i would suggest to have all students join the meeting at the same time and place. (slack is probably the best tool for this) then it's just a matter of finding a good time that fits everyone. maybe two or three times will be better if pharo gets more than a few students. however, having everyone join the same meeting helps show everyone how much others get done, and generally should help foster community. greetings, martin. -- eKita - the online platform for your entire academic life -- chief engineer eKita.co pike programmer pike.lysator.liu.se caudium.net societyserver.org secretary beijinglug.org mentor fossasia.org foresight developer foresightlinux.org realss.com unix sysadmin Martin Bähr working in china http://societyserver.org/mbaehr/
