Gruntwork is and always has been a 100% remote company, and over the years we've learned a few lessons about running efficient engineering meetings. Some key ideas:

- Collect information in parallel - Store topics in a permanent database to be revisited with timestamped updates - Use synchronous time for high-bandwidth conversations, such as conflict resolution or information-gathering

We've modified stand-up so much that we use new name: Café

What do you think or your team's stand-ups? Would you try a Café?
