On: You don’t need standups

[Shaanie]

Don't wait until the standup to ask for help if you don't have to.

I'm also confused why OP is having standup eith people who havent even heard of the project he's working on. Doesn't sound like he's working on the same product as the other developers.

The standup should be the place of last resort for bringing up barriers impeding a task. The more resourceful you can be at solving a problem/brainstorming outside of the standup the better ime

"Don't wait until the standup to ask for help if you don't have to."

I didn't mean to imply that, but one of the purposes of stand-up is to give a place for that to happen.
