Reading the following part confused me, since that's how I learned and I don't know Mr. McIntyre:
> But my Scrum friends reminded me that stand-ups were never supposed to be status reports. They said that an evil elf named Yesterday-today-no-blockers McIntyre spread that lie around the industry long ago, and people have been confused ever since.
So I did some digging in the resources from the ScrumAlliance. There I found:
> The three-questions format was included in older versions of the Scrum Guide but no longer appears in the updated guide.
So what to do instead? I also found this snippet which I think is useful:
> The daily scrum is not a status meeting or status report. The purpose isn’t for a scrum master, manager, or stakeholder to see who is on schedule and who is behind; instead, it’s an opportunity for self-managing team members to synchronize with one another.
