I'm a PM and I have anxiety during standups. I think it mostly stems from the fact that I have perpetual anxiety that I've forgotten something that someone needed from me and am holding them up. (Ironically, or perhaps very logically, because of this anxiety I virtually never forget anything and block anyone because I have a detailed and redundant note-taking system that makes sure I do everything I need to.) So yeah, I think it's just common to have some anxiety when you're up in front of your peers doing anything at work. As for the length of your updates, let's just be clear that you're the one doing it right and everyone else is doing it wrong. There's cultural variance in how standups work, but generally the correct thing is that you get through the basic update quickly and then get into details as needed with the appropriate subset of people once updates are done. My standups right now are running long because of 1-2 people who just go on for too long or start trying to talking through solutions during their updates, so I'm having to walk the line between not wanting to nag every day but also making sure we're keeping the time under control. |
