I don't see value in stand ups most of the time and usually they just get in the way of your work e.g. "I'll start this feature in 30 mins because we've got a standup in 10 mins". I already know what most people are doing from either group chat or the planning board, and a lot of details won't have much relevance to everyone so you end up zoning out just like you would in typical bad meetings. The "what did you do yesterday?" part can also encourage people to scramble to justify they worked hard enough yesterday when it's tricky to condense why a task isn't as trivial as it sounds. What did you do yesterday? What are you doing today? What is getting in your way? That's exactly what planning boards are for! Create a Slack bot which automatically summarises and posts this for each team member every day if you really must. Planning boards are great though. They give you an overview of what everyone is up to, what progress is being made and they're little effort to keep up-to-date compared to having to reply to lots of emails about "what's going on?".
