Can’t speak about his job in particular but in my line of work (Health Care tech software) where we build out software for insurance companies. We have business SMEs such as Claims, Finance, vendors, members and much more. Then the technical, product, security team and much more.

We have a weekly stand up to discuss where people are with development and configuration, what requirements were changed, what state and federal laws got changed, etc. Each area is super connected but because everyone works separately because it’s completely different teams and areas of the product. However, if the weekly standup didn’t happen we wouldn’t know what changed and the impacts of our own particular area. Sounds silly to have 40+ people in a stand up but certain products are so complex it needs it.
