_sigh_ Not a fan of the tone and judgement in this article. It's great that your team doesn't require getting on a call or meeting in person to coordinate their work. That's not true for every other team that exists though. There is no single process that works for everyone. Great teams take pieces of different processes and find what works for them. If Daily Stand-ups don't work, that's cool. If they do, that's cool too. My team still does daily stand-ups. We stay focused and it's nice to see everyone. Other teams don't and produce just as much. Anyways, if anyone is interested in learning how to make their daily stand-ups better, I wrote this article: https://www.buildthestage.com/the-daily-standup-is-a-waste-of-time/ https://www.buildthestage.com/the-daily-standup-is-a-waste-o...

> Not a fan of the tone, judgement, and gatekeeping in this article. …Gatekeeping? I'm hardly trying to control access to something. I'm preventing developers from having their focus time squandered. Anyway… From your article: > This made me realize that the real value of a daily standup isn’t the meeting itself. It’s the time that comes after it. Considering this, let’s stop trying to optimize the daily standup itself. Instead, use it as a catalyst to get our teammates away from their desks. Use the standup to start a conversation, but trust the team to finish it. This is oddly contradictory. You concede that daily standups aren't actually valuable. You say you trust your team to terminate the discussion at an appropriate point, but for some reason you don't trust your team to initiate that conversation when they see fit. How does that work? > this is a good article Well… you would say that, wouldn't you? Didn't you write it?
