Before most plays in an NFL game, the teams get together in a huddle to figure out what they’re doing on the play and how to act in concert to achieve that end.
Contrast this to the typical software development standup where everyone talks about the very different tasks they’re all working on separately.
The football team brings a cross-functional group together to achieve the same end
The software standup typically brings a bunch of people with the same functional skill together to talk about the different ends they’re working towards.
Go team!
