peep who is saying something but lost the thread at some point and is indiscriminately spewing whatever words happen to come to mind as they desperately try to get ahold of themselves

Let's make sure we're not robbing Peter to pay Paul here! Lets run this up the flagpole until the director is no longer out of pocket. It's important to see if this project any immediate synergies that will enable a network-effect.

The secret is to tell people to "table it" the instant they go off topic. Yeah but you have to pay attention to be able to do this. I prefer to just wait until there is silence, then awkwardly move on to the next person hoping I didn’t just miss something.

the thing is that 90% of scrums are actually status meetings and its ok to acknowledge that.

The secret is to tell people to "table it" the instant they go off topic. Way back when we were in office and I was scrum master people could chat about something as long as it took me to write it on a post it note for parking lot, it was a nice visual cue to wrap it up that worked well

I have found the rush to table anything that isn't "FEATURE A, NO BLOCKERS! NEXT!" can be taken too far. Sometimes people take a minute or two to get around to mentioning things that affect more people. There's a nice midrange where people have more than a minute - I was at one place that literally handed off a little 1 minute hourglass egg timer thing and if you ran out of time you had to stop talking and give it to the next guy - and just letting some guy drone on endlessly about his adventures with xml validation.

why would anyone want people to be concise in meetings instead of just let them ramble forever so you can just zone out and work less?

I work with a pretty cool guy, but bless his heart he rambles on for far too long, I guess because he doesn't know how to end his turn - so he deflates more and more before perking up with a recap of what he said before which usually feedback loops into more rambling and if you don't cut him off at some polite point, it'll never stop.
