>It is not naive. Top down micromanagement is certainly common but it isn't inevitable. I have worked in multiple businesses with healthier management cultures. I'm sorry if you haven't.

Again with the unjustifiable leap to an extreme. Nobody said micromanage.

Yes. Scrum teams do a quick rundown of the board on standup. That's your opportunity to tell them what you did and why.

What you are describing is micromanagement. It is not necessary for you to say that's what it is, nobody ever thinks what they are doing or that what they favor is micromanagement, and yet that's what lots of people are doing. And that's what you're describing.

This is a major anti-pattern! What's funny is that other people I've been debating with in these threads have made the point that stand-ups aren't so bad because it isn't about status reporting, it's just a really quick get together ritual. And yet this is what lots of teams actually do, pull up the sprint backlog and have a planning meeting every single day.

What you're describing is a micromanaged process of very dubious value. I recognize that this is what lots of organizations do, but (to circle back to the article) it is very much the opposite of what companies like Google do, and not because they don't have tons of compliance and auditing requirements; they do.
