For all meetings, I think it helps to evaluate on an ongoing basis: 1)what the meeting is for (ie the goal of the meeting) 2)whether a meeting is actually the best way to achieve that goal and if so, who actually needs to be there to achieve that goal 3)whether the meeting on an ongoing basis is achieving the goal and if not, why not In my experience a lot of daily standups degenerate into being a very inefficient "serial hub-and-spoke" information-sharing where one dominant boss person asks each person in turn a series of questions and everyone else shuts off their brain until it's their turn. It's a tremendous waste of everyone's time and just there to stoke the overinflated ego of the person running the meeting.
