A "1 hour daily standup" is not agile. The point of a stand-up is just that... everyone can stand because the meeting is so short. Ideally 15 minutes max.
It's annoying when people get really dogmatic about having to stand up in the stand-up meeting. I know it's supposed to remind and encourage everyone to keep the meeting short, but in my experience that simply doesn't work.
Agreed, enforcing standing up but not brevity is the worst way to do standups, and a clear sign of pure cargo-culting.
Maybe not. But have a culture that the meeting really is that short, and let people sit if they want to.
Agreed. Don't force people to stand, keep it so short and sweet so that people want to stand.
