> If you have a blocker and you wait until the daily to say it, you have a bigger problem. Blockers should be notified right away and most team do this over slack or other messaging platforms they use.

They should but it doesn’t always happen. Having a stand up makes sure you can get that information into the open.

This holds for literally everything. You shouldn’t hold back conversations for your 1-on-1 but, if you don’t have them, you’ll find there’s a load of conversations you miss out on that you needed to have.

Having a daily standup might be encouraging people to wait until the daily to mention blockers, which could be harming your team all while you think it’s working

It could but the fact I see conversations on Slack and hear in stand up “person X is already helping me with this” suggests otherwise.
