That link is stupid. We do daily standups. It usually takes about 3 minutes. If it's taking 2.5 hours/week, you're doing it wrong.


Whenever I see "If X isn't working for you then you're doing it wrong" I remind the person who said it that they really ought to consider that there are no silver bullets/holy grails. If daily standups work for you, great (see, I'm acknowledging that it works for some people), but please keep your process religion to yourself, mmkay?


But this is a pretty clear indication that things are broken. I understand that there are variations in how things are done, but if you're doing "standups", the whole point is: keep it short and sweet. Otherwise, call it a "morning meeting" and run it as long as you want.


Ah Scrum arguments.

The biggest source of No True Scotsman fallacies on the internet.


Also do daily standups - if someone wants to go into more detail about something they do it only with the people necessary.

We take about 10 minutes/day.
