If this actually rings true, there's something pretty wrong in your team.
Stand up should be a quick and uncontroversial meeting talking about what you've done, what you'll do and anything you need help with, plus maybe a couple of minutes of small talk before you start.
You mean you're not actually supposed to spend 2 hours daily unfucking everyone's shit during the standup turn by turn?
We waste the two hours doing code reviews that only three people actually need to be present for, I always appreciate the chance to zone out and do something else for a big part of the day. Follow that with lunch and I've just done half a day's work by watching TV
My team does this for the first ~15 minutes and then we move to "group think" for any tough problems or "water cooler chat" for the remaining 15. You're allowed to leave if it's just water cooler chat, so I really like it
That sounds about 25 mins longer than i'm willing to call a standup.
if it's not wrapped up within 10 mins of the scheduled start time something has gone horribly wrong
Yeah but I'm retarded and don't want my team to know I've been struggling to make a proper AWS SQS topic policy for the past three days
Real. Or in my case I'm depressed and fucked up and just haven't found the motivation to even open my IDE...
