Daily Stand-up Meeting Tips for Agile Teams

Quick Definition:

The Daily Stand-up (or Daily Scrum) is a short, time-boxed meeting (usually 15 minutes) for the team to synchronize activities and create a plan for the next 24 hours.

Daily Stand-up

The 3 Questions

Each team member answers three questions:

  1. What did I do yesterday?
  2. What will I do today?
  3. Are there any impediments (blockers) in my way?

Best Practices

Keep it short, stand up to keep energy high, and don’t use the meeting for problem-solving. Save detailed discussions for after the meeting.
