I think you have missed the point. Daily standups and fixed-length fixed-scope iterations (i.e. Sprints) are enemies of each other. The deadline pressure of the Sprint means that developers want to spend every possible minute coding in order to deliver what was promised (which is often too much), and the daily standup is both an interruption and irritant to this goal. The underlying purpose of the daily standup – to properly discuss the problems and how to remedy them – gets lost in the distraction of wanting to get back to work as soon as possible. Both purposes lose.
