Our standups/meetings are spiraling out of control with our new manager. He loves to keep talking. I am not sure if he likes to hear himself talk or what, but the meetings have grown significantly longer since he started. The norm now, scrum can go up to 45 minutes due to "parking lot" discussions every morning with the ENTIRE team. I don't think everyone is needed for those those "parking lot" meetings. I am sure those "parking lot" meetings will do fine with just the manager and the product owner, but it does cut down in our time to get committed work done, so that forces us to work more hours after hours. It really is tiring, and burning the team out. This morning meetings doesn't even include our other meetings throughout the day. So many agitating meetings. We had brought this up in the past, but it seems it has fallen on deaf ears.
