No way, my team gets a lot of value from our standup! We have 5 devs. We have a scrum master, but we rotate who's facilitating from our lead down to our most junior dev. If our scrum master's out it's no problem, any one of us is able to step up. The first ~10 minutes or so are spent updating the team on the progress we made yesterday and making sure everyone knows what they're working on today. Pretty standard fair. But we always take a full 1/2 hour. We use the rest of the time for backlog grooming. It works really well for us for 2 reasons: 1. We get a lot of reactive work, and it's really convenient to have time set aside every day to address it 2. By piggybacking backlog grooming onto time that we're already scheduled to be together as a team, we cut down on the number of other meetings we need to have (and context switching to/from coding). We all find it much more convenient to spend an extra ~20 minutes together every morning so that we can have the rest of the day to work.
