We were 5 people total - PO, Scrum Master, 3 devs. Been years since I was in that team but it was expected that everyone would give a lengthy update about the previous day

That's 12 minutes a person. How much time did it take 3 devs to say "I worked on 12343, I plan on working on 12354, no blockers"? I assume it was the PO/SM that drug it out?

Product managers shouldn't be rebranded as "solution managers." The title suggests they can handle solutions, but most lack the chops to solve real problems effectively.

I meant "Scrum Master".

That takes 2 seconds. But the PO usually expected a detailed breakdown of what went well or bad and what could be improved right then and there. Simply saying "Yeah, I'm doing X, still doing it, bye" would be bad, because you're also not inviting _collaboration_.
