> Daily standups shouldn't be necessary with a team constantly communicating.

I don't agree there. Constant communication is important for a good team, however in constant flow it often is being lost, what is important. Important things easily get lost between other noise.

Whether a daily is the right approach can be argued. Maybe a weekly is enough. However having a time where everybody listens and things can be brought to attention is useful in my experience.

He's not denying that (constant) communication isn't important.

But that, planned, too frequent, mandatory, with a prescriptive format, meetings (which dailies/weeklies are) is harmful.

I've been 21 years in this industry, the past 7 in Scrum/Agile infested companies/teams and I've never seen such a sterile and unproductive way of work.

I also agree that it isn't as important as they make it out to be.
