Abstract
According to the Extreme Programming Web site, the stand-up meeting is one part of the rules and practices of extreme programming: “Communication among the entire team is the purpose of the stand-up meeting. They should take place every morning in order to communicate problems, solutions, and promote team focus. The idea is that everyone stands up in a circle in order to avoid long discussions. It is more efficient to have one short meeting that everyone is required to attend than many meetings with a few developers each.”

A methodological leg to stand on: lessons learned using grounded theory to study software development
CASCON '08: Proceedings of the 2008 conference of the center for advanced studies on collaborative research: meeting of mindsWe are engaged in a qualitative research project to understand how people manage the process of software development. This study uses grounded theory as its method of inquiry and we have learned much about what is and what is not a grounded theory. We, ...
