I seem to remember a time when standups did not necessarily involve the product owner. I feel like a lot of things have changed in Scrum that have progressively brought more of management into its ceremonies in ways that have actually disrupted a lot of the early goals of the process.

Interesting, yeah, we were doing something closer XP, not Scrum. I've never done Scrum. Haven't done "agile" in the last 10 years, as it's not really a thing where I work now.

But yes, in XP, the 'customer' or 'product owner' would not attend a daily standup. The purpose of the meeting was for developers to sync and maintain velocity and social and work cohesion.

Meeting with customer/PM was something that happened at the end or start of iteration.
