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

#Project #ProjectManagement #DailyStand-up
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 Alice is a great tool for helping with your Daily Standup meetings.
...if you do say so yourself!
Great video. Thank you for making my view more clear
Cheers, Dario!
Best content about this topic I have seen, congrats e thank you!
Wow, thanks!
Great explanation and advise for daily standup meeting Mike 👍
Glad it was helpful, Ratin!
Standup meeting just a different form of micromanagement.
They can be. But a proper stand-up meeting is for and buty the team doing the work and will proceed whether or not the manager is present. Like all management processes, they can be run well and to good effect, or subverted by personal interest or ineptitude.
@@Onlinepmcourses I've never seen a standup done without a manager involved...
@@wetter4293 If the team leader needs to lead the meeting it is a 'Team Leader Meeting'. If anyone can lead the meeting and it is okay for the leader to be absent, it's a 'Team meeting'.
@@Onlinepmcourses Unfortunately, that's not how I've seen standups used....It's more of a way to update the stakeholders as a substitute for a failure to create sufficient result-monitoring-based workflows.
@@wetter4293 WEll, that's sasd. What you describe isn't what most PMs would call a daily stand-up. It is a daily stakeholder briefing (maybe one where people stand!) I guess it's the job of the PM to craft the most useful meetings and run them as well as possible. If you are in a position to change things, then please do.
Great video Mike
Thank you, Alhakeem.
First Standup tomorrow, thank you heaps!!!
Good luck with it!!!
Tatake!!!
thank you for this
You're welcome.
Thanks Teacher i would like to write Blogs about Project management
Go for it!
And let me know...
If you ended up doing the blog, could you tell me its name? I wanna check it out :)
Do you have any template for running the daily stand up call
Vijay - unfortunately, I don't. But it's a great idea and I shall add it to the backlog for my Project Management Template Kit: onlinepmcourses.com/project-management-tools/project-management-template-kit/
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?
Shiva. My apologies, but I am not clear what you are asking.
But, with your second question: always! I always want people to answer questions independently.
👍🏻
Just because they wouldn’t let me do it twice.

Walking the board is the worst. It devolves into a status update.
If all it is, is a status update, you're missing the important point of the power of the team to work the problems that individuals are coming across.
@@Onlinepmcourses Yes, but you're also taking away the trust in the employee, and the empowerment to figure things out and become more autonomous on their own.
Would you rather have a capable employee, or an employee who has the status on everything?
@@wetter4293 'Capable employee' and 'employee who understands status' are not mutually exclusive. How can a capable employee make good decisions if they do not understand the status?
@@Onlinepmcourses I guess I should rephrase the question - "Would you rather have an employee who knows how to gather the status themselves, or one that needs to be told the status of everything?" is probably a more accurate question to the point I was trying to make.
Also, kudos on you for being willing to have a discussion...happy holidays
@@wetter4293 Yes, I want my team members to be able to gather status information. But no, I don't want them all to have to do it and therefore all take up their time, when one short event can allow them all to get the information at the same time. Efficiency is important.
I fu*** hate daily standups, it takes time from my tasks and usually useless as if you have a problem you reach someone who can help. Is better to set deadlines and focus on tasks, scrum is great to waste time.
Jacek - some feedback for you. Be careful how you express yourself. This style does nothing to enhance your professional reputation and your point (which has merit and could be developed) gets lost. If you are trying to build a career, every step you take has consequences.
@@Onlinepmcourses perhaps enchancing ones perceived professionalism isnt the higher order bit here...
@@davyroger3773 It very much is. If you want to do good work, you need people to take you seriously. If you want to be taken seriously as a professional, you need to act with professionalism.
I come from a background in predictive PM and also understand the values of goals, tasks, and deadlines. But we also need to communicate and course-correct. Daily stand-ups don't just happen in a scrum environment. Use them: don't use them. The question is one of utility. Sometimes they will help, so hold the. Sometimes they won't, so don't.
