The best daily standups I ever had went like this:
Everybody is physically standing up, in a place where there are no computers.
Going around the circle, everybody answers three questions:
1. What did you do yesterday?
2. What will do you today?
3. Any blockers?
Any long discussions were tabled until the standup was finished. It took about 5 minutes to get through a team of 6, and was a great way to kick off the workday. On Zoom, you can't get quite the same kind of effect. But you could still keep it short, and you could leave your ticket-board out of the meeting.
I find that the no-Jira standup is better, because it makes people more honest about what they've actually been doing. They don't feel the pressure to fit some kind of Jira narrative, and will instead just talk freely about whatever's on their mind. Much better from a team collaboration perspective.
