We stopped calling them "standup" meetings when we hired a guy who was in a wheelchair and realized how badly named those meetings were.
We renamed them to "daily status" meetings, and we started holding them in a slack channel. Each person simply posts what they are working on that day, in bullet list format.
It's so much more efficient than "stand-up meetings", it's ridiculous. The agile cargo culting is real.

- Minor49er 5y agoWe have something similar at my job. They never adopted standups, but instead have a spot where you're encouraged to post daily updated and blockers, completely at your own convenience. Standups at my last job were terrible. Nobody paid attention to each other when they gave their updates. Often, two of the attendants would get into a discussion that would take up the entire meeting that was only relevant to something the two of them were interested in. The meeting organizers wouldn't stop it from happening, but would also rebuke you for being rude if you walked out while it happened.
