> Having a regularly scheduled, synchronous meeting is incredibly disruptive > In fact, the best teams actually unblock problems as they come up Maybe I'm reading them wrong, but it seems to me like these two lines are in direct contradiction. Obviously if a problem is a "fire" then yeah, you want to solve it immediately. But if the problem isn't urgent and can be worked around, why disrupt someone on your team? Overall I think the framework / pattern presented in this post doesn't take urgency or team experience into account -- in my experience, synchronous standups are great and useful for quick discussions of non-urgent blockers, especially when the team is more junior and could benefit from exposure and shared understanding.
