Sure - definitely agree with you on seeing all the pieces fit together. I get a way better picture of that with other methods (Kanban, story map) than from someone listing which classes they wrote yesterday.

Once you learn to "read the board" as a team, 1/2 can largely go away. And the best part is that the board is asynchronous - I can go look at it whenever I want without bothering anybody.

If people are actually listing classes in the stand-up, I agree that's a problem. For me the stand-up "did yesterday" content is more, "We worked on X and have it almost finished. In the course of that, we made a neat utility for X, and cleaned up some ugly code in Y. If anybody wants to talk about refactoring Y further, let's talk."
