+2 better idea: no standups.
2 comments

We did written standups for about 2 months, they just died, everyone stopped doing them.

I think discipline is important, but I can also see how they must not have been adding enough value for them to remain a thing.

I love the idea.. daily is often too much or not enough. Blogs are written whenever something needs to be said.
I prefer M-Th standups, hardstop at 15 minutes, with a weekly owner that rotates.

That way I can get quick heads up and plan to ask others for assistance, as needed. Get all the shouldertaps done quickly.
