There was this big ant colony with a bunch of different ant groups. They were all divided into small "teams" of 5-8 ants. The teams consisted of 95% worker ants and a drum master. The worker ants had different responsibilities. There were of course the food-gathering ants, sometimes an architect who designed the nest and how everything gathered will be stored, a "NestOps" ant who made sure everything is operational in the nest infrastructure, and then there was the drum master...
His job was hard, important, agile, and most importantly NEEDED. Every morning he would bang his drums and round up the worker ants. His antennae would signal: "What did you do yesterday?", "How is the progress?", "Any blockers on the road?". You see, those are important questions, and in an agile environment such as the one of the ants, they must be asked and answered EVERY morning. After this 15-minute morning ritual, the worker ants would all go to work. But what about the drum master you might ask? What would he do?
He would bang his drums a few times more as the day passed. If for nothing else, just to make sure his presence is noted. After all, he is the one with the drums.
