> I even remember the days when dailies were actually held standing up in the office.

I switched my team to text based daily updates submitted anytime before ~10am.

A nice perk was it gave people the option to do it at the end of the day to help plan their following day so they hit the ground running in the morning. It was especially useful for Mondays where people spent time filling dead air on calls trying to remember what they were doing on Friday.

Everyone could see what was happening, stalled work and people going off track were really obvious if the updates weren't specific enough. "still working on" and "I couldn't solve it so I'm going try and run git bisect over 10 years of commits to see where it breaks"

Management were happy that they were getting their status updates and we could all stay in the zone for the whole morning.
