Explanation

The Scrum Guide explicitly time-boxes the Daily Scrum to 15 minutes, regardless of team size. It is not 'per person' - doing 5 minutes per person would scale poorly and is not aligned with the Scrum Guide. The team does not decide the time-box; Scrum prescribes it. The Scrum Master is responsible for ensuring this time-box is respected.
