Aren't standups mostly a way for management to say "now the standups are at 9:30 and everyone have to be at work at 9:30" ? :-). Also it's clearly micromanagem

Aren't standups mostly a way for management to say "now the standups are at 9:30 and everyone have to be at work at 9:30" ? :-).
Also it's clearly micromanagement: Why does everyone, including your boss, have to know what you did yesterday ?
- julian_1 11y ago> Why does everyone, including your boss, have to know what you did yesterday ? To identify blockers. If a member is blocked by some external factor over which they have no control, then the team leader is required to intervene/escalate to solve it to allow the member to progress. Formulating what you did yesterday, what the goal of work is today and identifing blockers in a few short sentences (literally 30s-1m) is less management overhead than anything else I have experienced. Certainly beats filling in reporting documents.
