I generally allow the standup to go a little over time if necessary, but not longer than 10 minutes. This leaves 9AM open for other meetings (further encouraging brevity) or for the team to get into their individual tasks. For example, rather than scheduling a standup at 9:00 AM, schedule the standup for 8:55. ![]() ![]() Scheduling the standup at 5 minutes before the hour can also be helpful. This will ensure that the standup is concise and productive, and that team members can get back to their work quickly. If a topic requires more discussion, schedule a separate meeting for it rather than allowing the standup to go over time. If someone is late or doesn’t make it, they can post their standup async into Slack or elsewhere. Start the meeting on time, and stick to the 5 minute limit. To make the most of 5 minute standup meetings, it is important to be disciplined and focused. This may sound like a short time, but it is actually plenty of time for each team member to quickly share their progress, blockers, and plans for the day. Instead of allowing standups to go on for 15, 30, or even 60 minutes, try setting a target time limit of 5 minutes and hard limit of 10 minutes. One way to improve the efficiency of standup meetings is to limit their duration. However, they can sometimes become unproductive and waste time if they are not well-structured and managed. Standup meetings are a common and effective way for teams to stay aligned and on track.
