In don’t get the problem but I think that is because I have worked at more traditionally managed (less startuppy?) companies that wouldn’t let standups drag out. A simple fix for long standups is “no tech details”. If remembering yesterday takes time then don’t ask about yesterday just catch up per task on the board. I think a good blog post about how to run a standup might be the MVP for this. If no one wants to run it maybe ditch standups? Standups are useful as a forcing function. Before they were popular you had the “team leader doing the rounds” which may or may not be better but is also a good check in. The benefit is catching people getting lost, stuck or working on something they don’t need to.
