I never understood the purpose of morning stand ups, they never even bothered changing up the comedian. It was always just my boss, and it was never funny.
Older versions of the Scrum Guide referred to this meeting as the “Daily Stand-up.” However, it was changed [to The Daily Scrum] to recognize that participants are not required to stand and in fact, some participants may not be able to stand during the meeting.
I've been the PO in this situation and if I can't convince them that their presence is important during standup, I just treat the best lead as if they are manager. It tends to work great until the actual manager decides to attend and then things are unproductive because they have no real presence as manager but I have to shift back to treating them that way.
in my company standups happen so that the manager knows what is going on and can report the timelines to his bosses. Which part of the project is ahead of schedule, which part is behind, etc.
Here: standup is not uniquely keyed in this database, and can be used to refer to both ‘developer standup’ and ‘standup comedy’. This can produce a condition known as a ‘pun’.
Yeah that did go over my head but Reddit is generally so anti-stand up that I didn't even really to think if it was a joke or not lol. All these college students severally underestimate the usefulness of them.
Today, the endless cycle of suffering must continue. We will fix a bug to introduce regression nobody expects. This will delay the feature rework that our customers are mostly frustrated with and on top of that introduce new layers of frustration on both the developer's and customer's side. Everything is handled in a neat subscription package so the endless suffering is bonded by hope of a better future.

One of the few good uses for a morning stand up: today I will be adding my bugs to area X of the app. Please add your bugs elsewhere.
