          My seven person team completes a stand-up in less than 15 minutes twice a week. Does it provide value? Probably not. Is it fast? Yes.

            Trust me, it provides value. For those of us with problems leaving everything to the last minute, having a little biweekly accountability and structure can really help prevent problems from getting too big.

          My old job legitimately did 5 minute standups. A person saying they were struggling with something would often get interrupted by someone else volunteering to help them after standup. It was incredible. I miss it so much.

          I’ve been on multiple teams that do and it’s so much better than the teams that don’t.

          Ideal standup (cameras off):

          • -2:00 - 0:00 mark: light chit chat if earlybirds want while waiting for standup to start

          • 15s-45s / per person: what did you work on yesterday, what are you working on today.

            • An extra 45s if you have a blocker. The resolution during the meeting is always either:
              • ‘blocked, nothing I can do, moving onto X ticket’,
              • ‘someone tells me who to talk to to unblock’
              • ‘me and a team member agree to meet after the standup to discuss how to unblock’

          • 0-2min total for offboard updates: who has a doctor’s appointment, needs to take time off, happy anniversary, etc.

    Best schedule is: Clock in at 9:00 and plan/settle in until 10:00. Standup from 10:00 to 10:30 (and no later!). Solo code until 3:00 (lunch when you feel like it) and pair programming/testing from 3:15 to 5:00

    I will be taking no questions
