I share the same views about standups!

I would also add that it depends on whether the team is fully remote or not. In some cases, standups are good to get face time with people even if maybe there are no relevant updates to share
My approach, as an EM had been:

1. Leave it up to more experienced teams to decide if/how they want to share updates.

2. Have the team share updates with stakeholders (incl me). Doesn't have to be a meeting.

3. Lay out a more opinionated structure for less experienced teams.

Getting ready to head out for a 5 day company offsite.

I’m beyond stocked!! It’s been 8 months since I saw some of my coworkers. The struggles of being a fully remote cross continental team are real.

Nothing compares to spending some good quality time together as a team!! 🥰💙
