A senior software developer has thrown a medium-sized Agile delivery function into crisis after giving a daily stand-up update so clear, accurate and emotionally honest that several managers were forced to pretend they had not heard it.

Ryan Hollis, 52, delivered the update at 9:46am during what the company officially describes as a “collaborative delivery sync” and what employees privately describe as “the morning hostage roll call”.

When asked what he worked on yesterday, Hollis replied, “same shit as yesterday.”
