Are daily stand-ups still helping teams — or just a habit we never questioned?

Hey folks 👋

I’ve been part of teams where daily check-ins were super useful — quick syncs that actually moved things forward. But I’ve also seen plenty that felt like a routine everyone just tolerates before getting back to work.

Now that async is more common, I’ve been thinking a lot about whether there’s a better way to do it — especially for dev/product teams.

I’m considering building something around async stand-ups, but before jumping into anything, I want to understand how teams really feel about their current setup.

So I made a short (2–3 min) anonymous survey:

It covers:

• How teams run stand-ups (Zoom? Slack? Jira open in another tab?)

• What people like / hate about it

• If async formats might be a better fit

Not launching anything (yet), just exploring the space. Would love your input if you’ve got a few minutes 🙏

Also curious: if your team actually has a stand-up format that works really well — I’d love to hear about it.

Thanks! 🙌
