For me, what is in a Kanban board is not enough info to be able to determine when I can help unblock other people on my team. I think this probably depends on how you use project-management software and what your team works on; for me, a teammate's item might list "Create pipeline to process dataset Y on hourly basis". If they are running into issues, I don't know if it's something I've seen before with that dataset, or that pipeline tech, or the processing script, or end-to-end latency, or XYZ. A standup helps clarify things somewhat Also if a teammate is actively working on something that is a downstream dependency of something I am working on, then I can passively learn about requirements and expectations for my own work, become aware of issues ahead of time, etc.
