> This is why you do the standup first thing, before people have started working. There is no flow to interrupt.

That requires all the people to come to work at the same time.

This point is dealt with in the article. People have different traveling arrangements. In my case sometimes I have to drop off my child at school and head in after the morning rush hour. So daily stand up is not first thing in the morning.

I worked on a project where we had the daily scrum (by conference call) at 4pm, precisely because people all started work at different times. All that that achieved was to mean that I was unproductive from about 2pm because I was thinking "if I get into something now I'll get interrupted before I properly finish it"
