It took me a year but I broke my team of this habit. The trick was to remind them that the parking lot shouldn’t be scheduled. The whole point is that you continue conversations organically so that it’s more like the beginning of a working session instead of the end of a meeting.
If your stand-up is that stressful and takes less than 30 seconds to minute per speaker, you need to find a better job.
Unless thus is about stand-up comedy. In that case, you’re 100% right.
*more than 30 seconds to a minute?
Lol our standup+parking lot is scheduled for an hour. Kill me.

I’m happy when it just takes that amount of time, because everything else is just a waste of time…
