> 30-60 secs per person probably
In my experience with a handful of teams so far, this has never consistently happened. There are always a few people (if not most of the team) that seem to not be able to be succinct. And many times, the standup turns into a back and forth between 2 or 3 members on a topic that's unrelated to what the rest of the members are doing and therefore a waste of their time.
And most of the time, it's just mind numbingly mechanical and boring, something to get over with so I can get on with my work.
I feel like a team meeting at the beginning of the week to sync up and then ad hoc meetings during the week between relevant parties would be better.
Maybe I've just had bad luck with stand ups or maybe it's me. Not sure.
