Couldn't agree more with what you are saying here. Daily stand ups, if done right are very helpful especially for remote teams. I did daily stand ups at my previous company and they took on average an hour and were unfocused, meandering and generally pointless. I dreaded them and the whole team felt the same. By contrast, my current team is much larger but keeps the daily stand up to 15 minutes. It's focused and everyone is on page about tabling longer discussions for post stand up with the relevant stakeholders. While I won't ever say I'm looking forward to it, I see the tangible benefits. We are a remote team across multiple time zones and are able to effectively work together with ease. The daily stand up is a big part of that.
