One doesn't just speak about changing Scrum rituals in public, you can be stabbed for this.
The Scrum priests are everywhere., you're not safe.


Even if I hate these procedures, I think if you remove the "sync" part of the meetups, its value will be less to 0.

If you use and update the tasks, all the info from the standup can be found in the current tasks also, so the information by it self is redundant, what matters is the act itself.

The most value I found in these "rituals" was a result of "sync", because we were in a room, forced to talk about our blockers, and other team members (that weren't involved directly) could help in finding a solution.

My guess is that, many of the team members will ignore most of the info that is not strictly related to them. Which you can do anyway in a project management solution already.

Also from the managers point of view, a big result of having a mandatory meeting at the first hour is that forces ppl to show up at work, at time.
