In my team, we do stand-ups in chat. It's basically just to get a sense of what the UX guy is doing, how the UI is coming along and what APIs that I need to build or fix for them are, etc.

Since we do stand-ups in chat, it takes a whole 30 seconds of my time, and I just read what the other guys are doing when it's convenient.

The only in-person planning we do now is our sprint planning.



+1 Chat is awesome for standups and generally does all the required things. Wish everyone did it this way. The one thing I'd like to see is more scheduling of breakouts (conf calls) though. An ideal standup for me schedules at least 2 conf calls per day to work through issues. This is very rough estimate, fewer is fine only if everyone is chugging along great and knocking off tasks quickly and cleanly.

I'd also like to say standup works great for remote teams.
