It just seems highly unlikely that you are having 10 minute meetings while accomplishing anything beyond the usual small chit chat and banter that almost all social interactions require. It takes ten minutes alone to just gather a group of people, look at each other, and say hello.
- herodoturtle 5y agoI can understand why you’d think that. If I may challenge your idea: what you describe only applies to teams that don’t meet often. My team has been doing this daily standup for years. Those 10 minutes are succinct - and effective. We save the chit chat (of which there’s plenty) for our lunch breaks and after hours. I wouldn’t blame someone for doubting it’s possible. But yeah, in our case, it just works.

In fact, the more often people meet, the more banter that crops up. Anyway, you have something special at your company that I’ve never seen. Cherish it.
