The topic is kind of broad but to focus on standups, I have a couple of firm beliefs:

- Standups don't need to be daily - it's too much. Twice a week is okay (this can be adjusted depending on team/product dynamics).

- They shouldn't consist of everyone telling everyone else what they're working on. This practice is boring and useless to anyone who is present. (If you want to check what I'm working on, log into the issue tracking system and look at the tickets against my name.) Instead, standups should focus on pieces of work that need to be delivered or that need to change status.
