Prod Is Down During The Standup

Oh, the absolute CHAOS when production decides to spontaneously combust right in the middle of your daily standup! Everyone's just casually discussing their "blockers" and "sprint goals" when suddenly someone's phone starts blowing up with PagerDuty alerts. The tension is PALPABLE – do we acknowledge the five-alarm fire consuming our infrastructure, or do we maintain eye contact and pretend everything is fine while the revenue counter spins backwards? The suits are standing there looking all corporate and composed while someone's frantically typing away trying to roll back that deployment from 10 minutes ago. Nothing says "agile methodology" quite like watching your entire team collectively decide whether to finish standup or save the company. Spoiler alert: the standup always gets cut short, but not before someone says "let's take this offline" with the energy of a building evacuation.
