They are purely for management to feel like they useful and making a contribution when they mostly aren't. And with the stand-up/scrum mindset we get to waste everyone else's time too. I don't have a single example where another developer's stand-up update was useful to me. I don't even pay attention. I almost never know what I'm actually going to be working on at the beginning of the day so I just guess. That too is management's fault as they shift priorities constantly. The whole status update meeting is a waste of time. And it's not five minutes anymore it's thirty to forty five destroying peak concentration time in the morning. Because they are so early, I usually finish early and lose the peak concentration time in the evening instead of sleeping late and focusing on work at peak times. Then managers wonder why things take so long when they destroy every morning and every evening of work. When you treat and mistreat people like robots, you get shitty work. Yet management is oblivious and trying to change or even communicate this to them falls on deaf ears. Well they reap what they sow and it's a shit crop.
