"crush your daily standup" - I am not sure that will be appealing to audiences outside America (assuming the target is dev teams worthwhile).

If I knew the first few mins of a standup were going to be a round table like "what's your all time fav book?", I would just join late.




Same here, this kind of "go-getter, overachiever" tone of voice in marketing seems a bit odd to the European audience.

Before I saw this comment by the parent, my impression was that the action-packed verbs (such as crushing) indicate that the subject mater is challenging and involves hardship. This attitude seems to come from a very stress-prone perspective, which, again, is a bit alien over here.


Thanks for the feedback! Icebreakers are totally optional. Some teams do it and like it, others skip.


That's fair enough. I would imagine managers would like it though :)
