Standup is status report performed live for people who could have read it. What replaced it for you?

Fifteen people. Fifteen minutes. Roughly ninety seconds of information.

The format's failure is structural, not cultural. You're asked what you did yesterday at the exact moment you're least able to answer before coffee, from memory, in front of an audience. So everyone reports the ticket they had open, because that's the retrievable answer. The actual texture of the day, the part where you'd learn something about how the sprint is really going, is gone.

The thing that's worked better for us: declaring intent in the morning instead of reporting history. "Here's what I'm picking up today" takes ten seconds, is answerable without memory, and produces something you can compare against reality at 6pm. Plan versus done, written down, no meeting.

Where it falls apart is that plan-versus-done is only useful if nobody's judged on the gap, the moment it becomes a scorecard, everyone starts declaring safe plans.

What's your team actually doing? I'm looking for things that survived contact with a real team longer than a month, not things that sound good on a blog.
