A standup every morning?

To my experience 10% of software developers think 7 am is morning, 60% something between 9 and 10. 30% not before 11 or 12. The first and the last group tend to be the most productive ones.

Forcing all of them to meet at 10 or even 9 is the best way to kill motivation and foster cynicism about useless meetings and processes.




Each person is limited to 1 minute, and most people only use about 10-20 seconds. So, the meetings are usually done in less time than it takes to go to the bathroom. I think everyone sees the value in calibrating our trajectory for a few minutes every day -- it often saves more time than it consumes.
