Stand-up is not a report to PM

It is very critical to make your team understand that Stand-Up is not report concerning work done to PM. PM is not the main nperson on this meeting at all. Team is main person.
Stand-up should not be formal meeting each morning. Igf team does not understand the neccesity of it - it will not have any value.

Stand-Up is meeting of the Team but not for PM. On this meeting team should update each team member concerning where is the Project now, are we going to meet goal of the Sprint in planned date, or we are out of estimation, which Problems do we have and how to solve them, which emergency bugs do we have.

Developer should not come to work only to develop. Developer should come to work to make Project better, to help team to meet Sprint goal, but not to write 5 UT and fix 3 bugs - it is not the goal, it could be means to meet goal.

Development for development is not the goal.

Development to make Project better, to drive Project to the main GOAL - is good Goal, and is good reason to go to work. If you do not have similar goal - probably you are wasting your time sitting in the Office? Probably it is time to change situation?
