Agree with your point on who attends can derail the meeting and make it a status update. The more senior a person there the less people want to be open about issues for fear of looking bad. The Jira board or whatever tool the team use to track should be up and the developer talking just chooses what to talk about that needs action.
True full stack in #fintech. Analysis, solutionizing, developing and delivering.
Mostly working in dotnet and javascript, with a passion for process optimising!
Although worth noting that a stand-up meeting should only be attended by the delivery team, nobody else. It's up to the PM to deliver updates to stakeholders or external interested parties.
A lot of people that dislike the meetings are usually running them wildly incorrect or using them as project update sessions!

Oh I completely agree. In most teams I've been in that's not up to the delivery team. If there are other managers more senior then they just attend or make the meetings what they need them to be, project update sessions.

This is an interesting topic to dive into. Who to invite to the standup. Maybe we'll cover it in the next blog? Stay tuned . . .
