Are standups archaic for small (remote) teams? Increasingly feel like a one weekly call is good and allow async for the rest of the week + tooling to keep everyone in the loop

Any input on how to make work more pleasant for everyone is appreciated

One call a week + async > daily standup imo, esp for small focused teams. I really struggle to place what you lose when you go to weekly (besides just team bonding but idk, we've done open office/cooler chat which worked with that).

stong agree on this

daily standups feel rooted in trust issues (or as something youre "supposed to do")

- 1 weekly call (sync)
- additional calls if needed (triggered by need, not cadence)
- lots of async text chat and banter
