> we do a 30 minute standup every morning If you wouldn't feel comfortable standing with a coffee for the duration of the standup then it's too long. 30 minutes is far too long and is well into conventional status-meeting territory. Aim for 10. Flip the premise of the meeting from "who's working on what" to "who's blocked by what". If there's no problem, say nothing. Not only does that save time, it is also more empowering for those with problems because they're not "swimming against the current" of those who are reporting their successes.
