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.
