I think it depends a lot on the what stage of the project we are in. In the beginning designing phase daily standups might be useful but once the work is well defined a more asynchronous communication style works better. I agree with the author that often the standup is the "ceiling" of communication in a group, and oftentimes most of the information presented isn't super valuable to anyone besides a project manager.
