    Keeping the meeting short was the whole point of them being “standups” (as opposed to “sit-downs”) in the first place!

    Frankly, even 10 minutes is excessive: it means either people are talking too much or your team is too big.

    I’m fucking sick and tired of cargo-cult managers adopting the trappings of agile without understanding WTF they’re for.

      Ha! Yes.
      For the first time, we are trying out a full scrum team in our company, with an external “scrum master” who really seems to know what he’s doing. It’s bloody amazing. Small team, the daily meeting has yet to exceed 10 minutes and is usually <5 minutes, the planning and refinement meeting keeps everyone in the loop. The rest of the time I can just be a happy code monkey :)
