How to Hold a Daily Stand-up Meeting

The Daily Stand-up Meeting is a part of many Agile Project Management approaches. But in my experience, the idea pre-dates Agile.

I bet the pyramid builder gathered around the wineskin at the start of every day!

But, the two specific ways of conducting a morning stand up, which I talk about in this video, are from approached used by many modern Agile practitioners.

Keep them short. For a small team, 15 minutes is plenty for a daily stand up.

Stand
(of course). It helps with:
- Energy
- Pace

Two Styles of Morning Stand-up…

Round-robin (3 Questions) method
- Yesterday
- Today
- Blockers / Impediments
- Maybe with a token to show who's on

Walking the board method
Where there's a Kanban Board or similar
- Move from Right to Left
- Who owns it
- Blockers
- Support to shift them

Detailed issues and side conversations parked and addressed afterward
Flag if off-topic discussions - take them offline
Adapt your process to refine it constantly

Getting everyone aligned for the day, so you are all confident in where the project is at, and what each part of the team will be doing is a good discipline. And you don't need to be running an agile project to do it! If this isn't part of your process, have a look.

Standup meeting just a different form of micromanagement.

Hope to know blockers start of the day or morning?
Are you asking people to answer independently?
There is no Goal in kanban, why daily scrum?

Do you have any template for running the daily stand up call

Walking the board is the worst. It devolves into a status update.

[MaxOut]

this is pretty old school and quite annoying for devs - it creates this "yesterday I worked on this ticket, and today I work on this ticket" routine, which benefits nobody (because all the tasks are tracked on a board anyways) and all the team members feel like little first graders who need to report on their homework. I think these kind of stand ups are nonsense.
