> they become a solution session between one dev and our manager This happens when the manager doesn't understand the point of daily standups. I've been on both sides of this. Ideally, the daily standup should be able to operate without a manager even being there: it should be a session between the team members who are actually doing the work, to give them a bit of time to come up out of the weeds of what they're working on to make sure that they're not getting themselves stuck, or to unstick their teammates. The meeting is only as long as it needs to be. In practice, people aren't really good about keeping Jira up to date, or will bury themselves into a rut to power through a problem. If it becomes a solution session between a manager and a dev, while everyone else on the team stays on mute to witness all of this, that belongs in a different meeting. | ||

What you're describing is how the good standups I've been in were run. Unfortunately that was one year at a startup and the other enterprise and startup teams I've been on were not run like that :( |
