It's only noise when all everyone ever writes in them is noise. In that case, yes, I fully agree - it'd be a pointless waste of time and you should stop. I do like knowing what others work on, as we're all remote. Our project owner likes knowing what we're working on as well. If it was a daily zoom meeting I'd probably be against it every single day. As a slack message in a separate channel it's not really a bother. > why it requires writing that down to come to the realization that you need help It helps avoid tunnel visioning on the problem too much, I guess. The standup provides a chance to do so every morning, why not use it? It's not like it's the only way of me communicating with the rest of the team and asking for help, not sure what ever gave you that idea...
