Here's how we do it: - Get rid of as many standing meetings as you can, and then get rid of more of them (1 a week is max) - At the end of every standing meeting, ask the group "Do we still need this meeting?" - If you feel you need a regular standup, do it on slack/whatever-you-use instead and asynchronous - The non-makers still need to be able to communicate with the makers, provide a clear chain of communication so that the smallest number of makers are disturbed in an ad-hoc fashion, preferably only 1 (usually a tech lead / engineering manager)
