The Daily Scrum Exercise Program

Yesterday I was in a chicken in a scrum meeting. I made the observation that the Daily Scrum was called that and not a “Stand-up meeting.”

Standing up is a mechanism for making the meeting fast. Someone mentioned that they actually used a weight in a previous team. You hand to hold the weight while talking.

This logically leads to a workout program. You start with a weight and, as people get used to it, you increase it. Start with 5 pounds, work up to 45. The problem with this is you’ll end up with inconsistent development. You’ll have a bunch of developers with strong, wide upper bodies but weak, pipe-like legs.

So the next logical step is to rotate the exercises used while reporting on what you did, what you’re going to do and roadblocks.

So maybe something like:

Monday, upper body, dumbbells held out in front or to the side (depending on where you need more definition.
Tuesday, cardio, jog in place, kicking your knees up high.
Wednesday, lower body, squat with your feet pointing at 45 degrees and legs apart.
Thursday, cardio, jog in place, kicking your feet into your rear
Friday, mid section, alternatively lift your knees to the opposite side of your body while twisting to the size of leg you are lifting.

You get the idea. Of course, you’d customize the workouts to at least the team or maybe even the developer.

I’d like to be on that team!

The weight would work, there would just need to be different exercises to perform. Like squats on a Monday, that sort of thing.

Haha! I love it! :D

Alas, I can’t imagine trying to give a verbal report while I’m working out – especially on cardio days.

I think this is in reference to the chicken/pig joke: http://www.implementingscrum.com/2006/09/11/the-classic-story-of-the-pig-and-chicken/

This would of course introduce a new role in the Scrum teams: The (Personal-)Trainer :)
