I worked at a place ten years ago where we were in the habit of 
referring to stories by number in the standup. Then we realized that was 
an excellent way to provide the *appearance* of useful communication, 
without any *actual* useful communication. Nobody's recollection of a 
gotcha in the SRV module is going to be jogged by hearing "4534", but it 
would be for "Today I'll be working on the service ring-back part, which 
touches the SRV and DTB modules".

And yeah: no need to hit every story on the board, just the ones we 
might be able to make progress on (given our WIP limits and other 
constraints).
