Our monday morning stand-ups tend to be more of a social catch up, however the COVID-19 lockdown has made finding exciting weekend plans a little more challenging...

We're the Agile Avengers, and we use the Scrum framework to run our website. This is a sneak peak into one of our daily stand-ups.

Having a chat about HOW we're doing is just as important as WHAT we're doing. And sometimes, just having a laugh with your team is the most effective thing you can do.
