I ran a 15 minute daily 'scrum' for about a year and a half, with 3-4 other participants and it was fantastically productive. That said, we frequently ran over to 30 minutes because we didn't stick tightly to the idea of what's to be covered in a scrum. But even with that run-over, it was the most productive group I've ever been a part of!

Having an agenda, keeping the meeting on track, and something like a kanban board etc are great tools to ensure worthwhile meetings. Someone mentioned somewhere else that keeping meetings to discussions, not status/info dumps also helps.

Nice! I've wondered about vagrant but never had the time to dig into what it is/does. Perfect 5 minute intro to wet the appetite!
