The problem with standups is there's never a good time to schedule them. You can't schedule them for right at 9:00, because then half the team will miss it because they're dragging in, and if you schedule it for a little later on, like 10, 10:30, 11, you're basically destroying flow for the entire morning.

Throw in the fact that they are completely useless. It's like Twitter - if you've only got such limited space to talk, you can't actually say anything worthwhile.

As a general rule of thumb, if a meeting can be replaced by an asynchronous group chat or email, it doesn't need to happen.
