Our standups are great for us but not for the reasons it should be. My team keeps itself up to date with constant communication. Not bothersome communication, people "go dark" when they need to, but we make sure to communicate. We use the standup to make sure the other teams/management takes us seriously. We use it to set the tone. No one is late to our meetings. We don't wait, and we don't recap what a visitor missed by being tardy. We set a clear expectation that we're busy, and we don't waste time. We also use it call out problems where other teams are involved. Our standup last about 4 minutes, and then we disperse. Admittedly, sometimes we stay around, or we join another channel and b.s., but mainly it's quickly meet and go.
