The stand-up is an opportunity to call out things that are blocking you, not for giving status updates. I got Scrum certified for resume padding, and thought it was gonna be easy, but I was blown away by the things I "knew had to be part of Scrum" that actually weren't.
This is all there is to Scrum, if it's not here it's not part of it:

It's like calling the electoral college part of democracy. Than just a choice one place made, it's not intrinsic.

I find it very useful for allowing everyone on the team to have a general idea what everyone else is working on. You can call out to ask for help at any time [1]. But having a 15 minute meeting each day to make sure everyone has a view of all the pieces in movement is handy. [1] Though the standup does give a place for people that aren't comfortable calling out when they're having issues.. to do so because it's expected there.
- JohnFen 2y ago> Though the standup does give a place for people that aren't comfortable calling out when they're having issues In my experience, standups are the worst places for such people. If they aren't comfortable calling out when they're having issues, they're even less comfortable calling out that they're having issues in front of the entire class.
