Don't know why we need to have a 15 minute standup each day, and then repeat what was said in a OneNote update which gets sent to management anyway and takes 2 minutes to update. I get so bored, don't care about the other people's stuff, because it has nothing to do with my work, and their work doesn't affect mine. And they don't care about mine either, we work on totally different products lol.

Some people enjoy talking, I suppose...

And then they brand this culture as

"intuitive collaborative and fast-paced"

on their company's jobs page.

Yeah, that's pointless.

It's meant for people working in the same team so that everyone is aware of what everyone else is doing, and if there's difficulties then they can be called out and someone else can jump in to help out.

If you're completely disconnected to the other work going on though - yeah, complete waste of time.

Sounds to me your team is being micromanaged. You are creating KPIs instead of aligning yourself towards your common sprint goal.

Yeah sounds like you're not in a good team setup to do a daily stand-up if you're not actually dependent/working on the same features/project.

But if you're really stuck with the meeting: try to convince them the stand-up should be about *what's going wrong*, *what is NOT according to plan* and *do you need help?*.

Everyone can look up the status of your tickets in the kanban board or indeed that report your management receives...
Just try and focus on whatever is NOT present in those reports/boards but what others should know about (if nothing: great, tell them so and invite them to just look at the board in their own time) and hopefully it'll be a bit less frustrating to attend!

How else are they supposed to micromanage you?

Odd that your code doesn't affect eachother - aren't you in the same teams?
No pairing/mobbing?

For us, its about open communication. Yes, 99% of the time you don't care, its that darned 1% when someone says "I decided to scrap MSSQL and use MongoDB.." that make stand ups worth every penny. I think our DBA was ready to throw a chair that day.

@MammaNeedHummus Not in the same team, but in the same company. We're a small company servicing a larger company and I get to work on the public website for marketing, whereas the others work on the company's one product, which is a web app. The website doesn't connect to the app at all and our tech stacks are different. It's a bit of a weird setup, they're trying to be like some other agile software teams, but the thing is, we ain't a team in the practical sense of what a team means.

@PaperTrail True, once in a while there's a thing I can help the other team with, but it's literally twice a year that has happened.

@dissolvedgirl > "it's literally twice a year that has happened."

Having the opposite problem for years (when leadership led by secrets and 'gotcha' moments), I'm OK with too much open communication. Boring=good.
