> Daily standup could be a good idea if it was strictly bounded in time (15 min) I'd say this is almost necessary, unless you have a small team that have been working together for a good amount of time, understand the project, and have lots of agile experience. Otherwise, it goes from a status update, to a drawn-out meeting where everyone's got a different agenda, nobody's paying attention to anyone but themselves (count the number of times you hear "sorry, I didn't catch that" when someone's asked a question directly during your next "stand up"). I also find it's really useful to use your kanban/sprint board to direct standup, instead of having each develop take a turn at talking. Going from right-to-left, asking what's changed with each ticket since yesterday, and if there's anything that's blocking progress today.
