Oh no, don't call it a "daily scrum" or the anti-Agile folks will descend on you like a pack of locusts :)

But that really works, it's easier to get people to ask for help or say they're stuck in person than over chat.

Which is completely different from saying "daily syncs make it easier for people to ask for help or say they're stuck".

What you actually need for people to ask for help or say they are stuck is to make them feel safe and comfortable doing it. As a human, not as an agile guru. If one can't get there, maybe one needs to work on their human skills instead of adding bullshit agile processes.
