Yep - a team near my desk routinely has sub-30 second standups following that format. I am probably a bit sour on standups in general since my last project had 10+ person, 15+ minute meetings (sometimes with the client present...) that added very little value for their cost ($1XX x 0.25 x 12).

Team size kills so many things. I had a client once that couldn't start a project without at least 15 people. Those projects were doomed from the start.

Maybe I'm getting old and cranky, but lately 7 is becoming my limit for people on a team, with team size as low as 3 looking pretty damned good.
