This might or not be controversial..... stand-ups.
Sometimes they are great and quite useful. But sometimes they suffer from at least 1 of the following:
1) I find people forget they don't need to contribute if they have nothing to say.
2) Some teams get worried if you have nothing to say but there might be a perfectly good reason for this.
3) Sometimes people forget that you don't have to explain everything you did. Bathroom breaks, coffee chats etc don't need to be part of the stand-up. Yes this has happened!
4) Sometimes they have a tendency to wander. You might have two people chat for ages about an issue but it only affects them not the whole team. Really an offline chat with just them would mean the other team members are productive while they chat it out.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
