I prefer ditching standups in favor of constant communication, people should know who they need to talk to and avoid waiting for specific checkpoints.<p>A not-too-long team meeting once or twice a week to talk about big themes is pretty reasonable, but usually I can&#x27;t even <i>remember</i> what is said in a standup, because much of it isn&#x27;t things I need to remember.<p>If it&#x27;s forced short, there&#x27;s usually not enough data, if it&#x27;s it&#x27;s too long, everything gets tuned out.  It&#x27;s really another kind of status meeting, and I think meetings should instead produce actionable items.
