stand up has to be the one good thing about scrum. the rest is just boring meetings which cost too much time entirely. but 5 minutes i can spare each day. the daily accountability it brings keeps managers from firing me (i have been fired way too many times often in the first week) as they know what i'm doing and therefore dont think i lack motivation. it also motivates me to perform even better. i dont think standup is bad at all and i think managers should be present for it. it may not be for some kind of idealistic 'for the team' thing or even the original intent, but... standups are a good thing. even if you're not doing agile, standups can still be useful to keep managers informed if you are a larger team (>3 people).
