Props to you if you manage to follow this and squeeze it into 15 minutes. I‘ve genuinely never had a daily last less than 60 mins.
that's insane. how many of you are there?

I used to run standups using a Slack plug-in, because my team was in several different time zones. It was really effective. We met once/week in a meeting....

Your team needs coaching, then. Unless you're getting status from 30 people....which would be a whole other conversation.
I‘m long gone from that team (thankfully). But hey, the Scrum Master was certified, I‘m sure it‘s all proper /s

We were 5 people total - PO, Scrum Master, 3 devs. Been years since I was in that team but it was expected that everyone would give a lengthy update about the previous day

Yeah, we do this basically automatically right now, so it is fast. There are really rare cases when we would need more than 15 minutes. We do more serious stuff asynchronous over Slack or in a smaller round after daily with only affected people.

We do something really similar to this and we're usually through 6 or 7 people in 15 minutes

My team does this, with the only downside that people are unlikely to pay attention. It at least satisfies mgmt without getting the team bogged down for an hour.
But if there's a problem I already bring it up via online chat, and will at least get private messages from the extremely shy people (which is most of them).
Re: Small changes that made our daily stand-ups more useful
#18What I struggle with is that any blockers or delays that I may have, I’ve already signaled in our team chat.
And the social pressure against saying “I didn’t do much” is tremendous, and it’s hard for anyone who cannot completely abandon worrying about what others may think of them to admit that, even if they have a reason to do so.
An actual progress report meeting 1-2 times a week is so much better.

#19> Daily stand-ups are a cornerstone of agile software development
A cornerstone of micro-management, at best.
Daily stand-ups can work when there is no manager present and it's just the people working on what they need to get done.

In my setup there is no manager there, only me as a team leader but I'm also one of the developers at the same time.
