Daily Standup

Daily Standup (Daily Scrum)

A short daily meeting, ideally under fifteen minutes, where a team syncs on progress, plans, and blockers. Kept standing to keep it brief.

When you'd see it: Daily on most Agile teams. The classic format is three questions: what I did, what I'm doing next, and what is blocking me.

Why it matters: Done well, the standup surfaces blockers fast. Done badly, it becomes a status report to a manager that could have been a message.

Common mistakes: Turning the standup into problem-solving or a status update for the boss. Blockers get named in the standup and solved after it.
