What is a standup meeting?
In essence: short, daily or weekly meetings. But why do you need those?
To answer objectives on:
What exactly needs to be worked on?
What is everyone else working on?
Do we understand where we’re going?
Are people “rowing in the same direction?”
What’s the broader strategy and how does that look at the task-execution level?
What does an effective standup meeting agenda look like?
The answer to this question varies by organization, but in general, there are three cornerstone questions that make up a scrum meeting or daily standup meeting agenda:
What did you do this week?
What will you do next week?
What blockers stand in your way?
Here’s an example of how one might respond to these questions:
“Yesterday, I focused on getting the specs for the Fletcher project.”
“Today, I am continuing to support Ethan from dev on making sure the Fletcher project is moving forward.”
“Ethan and I could use another set of eyes on the technical brief I’ve drafted”
