Daily Project Standup Meeting

Process

Description

A stand-up meeting (or simply stand-up) is a daily team meeting held to provide a status update to the team members. The 'semi-real-time' status allows participants to know about potential challenges as well as coordinate efforts to resolve difficult and/or time-consuming issues. It has particular value in Agile software development processes, such as Scrum, but can be utilized in any development methodology.

The meetings are usually time boxed to 5-15 minutes and are held standing up to remind people to keep the meeting short and to the point. Most people usually refer to this meeting as just the stand-up, although it is sometimes also referred to as the morning rollcall or the daily scrum.

The meeting is usually held at the same time and place every working day. All team members are expected to attend, but the meetings are not postponed if some of the team members are not present. One of the crucial features is that the meeting is intended to be a status update to other team members and not a status update to the management or other stakeholders. Team members take turns speaking, sometimes passing along a token to indicate the current person allowed to speak. Each member talks about his progress since the last stand-up, the anticipated work until the next stand-up and any impediments they foresee.

Team members may sometimes ask for short clarifications but the stand-up does not usually consist of full fledged discussions.

  • Microplace

    If it's a work day, there is going to be a stand up meeting. 9:30 sharp, and lasts for 10-20 minutes on average. Because the communication flows so well during the day, there isn't really a need for asking for help and whatnot. That happens naturally throughout the day. We use the standup as a mechanism to reset expectations with the larger team.
