You could spend some time making up new buzzwords. Write those down and repeat them like some kind of prayer.

What's stressing you out? Is it the talking in daily standup and giving a status update? Or, actually going through the process of working on stories and getting cards moved from backlog to completion? Does everybody sound a lot busier than you in standup? Do you feel like you need to read your daily agenda aloud to the group to fit in and look busy? Because those kinds of Scrum teams are trash, and it's ridiculously easy to bullshit your way through it once you practice a bit.

If the stand-up lasts 25 minutes, it's because people are oversharing and the Scrum Master isn't redirecting as they should be. Don't feel like you need to add to the pile - in fact, they'll probably appreciate your brevity. In fact, keep that in your back pocket in case you get comments on it (you shouldn't).CanuckCanuckCanuck posted:To add to this, it feels like being in preschool again when the SM goes round robin asking everyone's status. Yeah, that's quite common. Everybody's incentivized to overstate their workload because, as you said, you feel like you're being watched. Nobody wants to be the person who looks like they're just standing around. On the contrary, being new to the team means you probably don't have as full a plate as the seniors do. Don't be shy about calling out your own availability and volunteering yourself to help others with whatever issue they're facing. On a healthy team, that kind of stuff is universally appreciated and you learn a ton doing it.

You are at the exact point my team was at four years ago. Standups took half an hour, plannings took two hours, retros sometimes took upwards of three. We realized that scrum simply was not working and was straight up counterproductive and after the project managers got fed up (and the scrum master left the org to go work for a AAA game producer/developer, lol) we switched to what we like to call Waterfall With Agile Characteristics and split the team into three. We have two 15 minute standups a week and an hour long combined planning/retrospective meeting on Friday afternoons. Productivity is up year over year for the past four years. Engineers stopped quitting. Godspeed.

If its a team of older experienced devs, believe me, they hired you to learn from them and they dont expect you to be as fast or as capable as them for some time to come. youre an investment. this isnt school anymore where you need to measure yourself against your peers.
