It’s the best feeling in the world to no longer have daily 8:45am check-ins with mandatory camera on 😭

We do 2x dailies ~7 mins each. My team really likes them and I've found value in it.

Why the hate?

It isn’t about the frequency @OP rather how it’s positioned. I’m an agile coach and have seen it all.

At one agency the stand ups were legit micro-managing and chat/therapy sessions. A lot of it is due to PMs/accounts that are new to agile delivery—or are trying to be agile when the client is clearly waterfall.

That said, if you get onto a good scrum team, stand ups will make your life easier. Attend a 10-15 minute meeting daily in lieu of X status meetings. Focus on what you did, what you’re going to do, and any blockers.
