rotor posted: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. i've found that if the stories in the sprint are well defined the scrum naturally moves quickly cause everyone knows what needs to happen so questions and blockers are easy to articulate. if your stories are poo poo people will drag out the scrum asking questions and then the people who read "scrum should be quick" dont know what to do other than try to get people to stop talking about it and move on. That leads to the story not getting fixed which means in the next scrum the same issues come up. If someone is talking about their weekend or whatever then sure, cut them off, but if the story sucks and people are trying to figure it out then thats a blocker and you need to discuss it.

akadajet posted:oh boy the few times I've had to fill in running standup everyone always tells me "oh wow, that was fast and painless". The secret is to tell people to "table it" the instant they go off topic. It's much better on my newer team but on my old team we used to have guys who loved to hold how smart they were over you. Our SM was way too passive aggressive to tell them to shut up. Saying your status, and talking in more detail about stuff later is such a simple concept but it's incredibly hard for certain types of people to understand.

The worst case of standup was at old job where the lead actually took pen and paper notes of what everyone did and will do like he was taking in homework
