Yet another way that the good ideas from Agile got crushed to meaninglessness by Business Idiocy.
The whole point of the “stand up meeting” is, by forcing everyone to stand together, to encourage everyone to keep it brief and to the point, so it benefits everyone without sucking their time.
Especially when they’re called “standups” but everybody sits down because they typically last an hour or so.

Of course, that works only when everyone’s in the same room. I don’t have a good replacement for teams that connect remotely.
We have a NeatBoard that’s configured for Zoom. So our stand ups are in front of this TV thing and it works well for us.
Then again, our stand ups are short and to the point. We’re closer to kanban than scrum.
