If it’s not safe to say “I got nothing done yesterday” at your standup then it’s a waste of time. Stand-ups are not about accountability, they are about discovery.
If people are talking about anything other than; what I did, what my impediments are and what am I planning to do then they are wasting time. Book an actual meeting after the standup to discuss things.
If there are too many people to remember to book meetings after the stand up, your stand up is too large.
It can take < 60 seconds for each person in a stand up to cover the 3 questions. If people take longer they should be more concise and focus on only the important things. We probably don’t need the nitty details. It’s ok to practice this.
