- ab71e5 1y agoWow, was it actually 90 minutes of standing?
- ctkhn 1y agoFor me, yes. I was working remote from a surprisingly loud coffee shop so I had to pop out in the back alley. The rest of the team (even those in office) was all connecting on zoom so I doubt it.
- khedoros1 1y agoWith my current team lead, 90-minute standups aren't common, but they've happened. 30 minutes is "short", and most take 45 minutes. The previous lead kept things to about 10-15 minutes. The new guy has apparently never in his life said "OK, let's discuss this after standup".
- ctkhn 1y agoI get why people hate scrum/agile and random standards from above but this is the kind of guy that needs enforcement from his manager. Unfortunately I have never seen that happen and have had to just move on from teams where it gets poisoned like this.
- pavel_lishin 1y agoAny and every team member should be empowered to do this.
- delecti 1y agoInterject. When things are getting off topic (which is to say, as soon as one person interrupts another person's update with a question) just say "this might be better for post standup", or even just "post standup?" with a questioning inflection. Most of the people who will mind are exactly the kind of person that you're trying to keep from wasting everyone's time.

- ctkhn 1y agoI think some of my swe friends might have when I told them about it later.
