Also, how can standups be designed to make the team work more effectively?

Tips:

* NO MANAGERS. The standup is for the scrum team to organise and help itself. It is not there give a status update for the manager. The manager isn't in the team, and people have trouble talking freely when the manager is around.

* Do an issue based standup. Discuss the status of each issue on the board from the right to left. The primary question is "What can we do to keep these issues moving along through the process?".

* At the end you can ask "Does anyone have anything else important to add?". Maybe people have to leave early today etc etc.

That's it.
