2 standup within 3.5 hours
My team has two standup daily, one at 11 and another at 2.30. And the most funny thing is sometime these standup runs for 1 hour and we even have lunch at 1. I mean really it seems messed up. By 12 we are free from standup, hardly get the work rhythm from 12 to 1 and then lunch and afyer that within 30 minutes there would be next standup.

What's you team size? WTF do you guys share in the standup that it stretches upto 1 hour?
My team size is 8 and we are done in 5-10 mins max.
It's my first time in agile or whatever they call it. Normally we have like 23-25 people participating in standup .

Are they all from the same product scope?

Wow that’s such a waste of time for the team. The point of standup is to never run beyond a few minutes per person

In one of mt previous companies we used to have engineering standup together, but the CTO realised that it wastes a lot of engineering hours so he shifted to adopt product scope-wise standup and divided the engineering team into 4-5 groups, each with their standup happening parallelly.
Sounds like an absolute clown behavior from your company's management side.
We used to have daily standups (45 minutes, including parking lot discussion) which was too much for us. The team rallied together to convince our manager to reduce it. Turned to 3 days standup, and 2 days of posting updates on Slack. That also felt like a lot, so rallied more to remove the Slack updates on the 2 days. We do have daily parking lot items, but only folks who have blockers join that. In a happy state right now :)
Big waste of time. Have like 2 or max 3 stand ups a week, that’s more than enough. Adults are at work, why micromanage like kids.
