Status updates the team can interrogate without scheduling time.
Async standups are great until the first follow-up question. Then someone Slacks the manager, the manager DMs back, three other people had the same question but never asked. The async benefit evaporates.
Virtual makes the standup itself questionable. The manager records once. Anyone on the team can pause and ask. The AI answers in the manager's voice. The questions feed a queue the manager reviews once a week instead of in real time.
