> How long do you think your manager should go without knowing what you're doing? A weekly status update is good enough for regular status. I must mention that if you are looking at status reports from the time dimension, you have already failed. The manager should cultivate an environment where engineers and managers talk in small groups at any time. There is no need for a standup for this. Everyone can decide for themselves if they need to spend time with someone else. The manager can decide for themselves if they need to chat with a report instead of taking away time from all reports everyday. Of course, this would require the manager to do the work to chat with reports and figure out what's going on.
