Agile my ass. Stand ups should not take 40 min.

walk out after 15...should just be about blockers and not side railed by bullshit.

we run ours under 10 for a full team:
-- AM
-- PM
-- Clients PM
-- Front End
-- Back End
-- Dev Ops

If they are that long I bet you guys aint even standing up are you?

That's not a standup. If you're doing anything more than identifying blockers and immediately assigning resources if necessary, it's no longer a standup.

Call a seperate meeting with only who needs to be there or handle it online.

@nonconvergent actually, if you're not standing up, it's not a stand-up. there's a reason for that name...

Amen

I guess its ur tech lead/ on-site guy to blame, he maybe discussing requirements with you guys than taking ur Updates

while(personIdx < peopleInMeeting) {
What did you do yesterday?
What are you doing today?
Any impediments?
personIdx++
}

Such a waste of time.

@noamtm "we stand up to keep the meeting short" implies the means, not the goal.

@tass I bet you are right on the money!
