I hate stand-ups! It breaks for remote teams and is problematic in different time zones.

Modern teams should be relying more on their tools and processes to be able to effectively communicate status. When I manage teams, I rely heavily on bug/project tracking software to efficiently communicate where everyone is at. In addition, I employ processes the team is autonomous and each individual is responsible for an area that they drive and manage.

My teams meet as needed and as much as needed. People can always schedule meetings to coordinate all this.
