Daily stand-up
Fifteen minutes each working day to know who does what and who is stuck, without turning into a status meeting.
- Every weekday, 15 min
- 1.5 min to speak, each
Free. Your first meeting starts from this template, and everything stays editable.
Who it’s for
Development, support or operations teams who work closely together and need a short daily sync, on site or remote.
Why this format
- Short by designNinety seconds each, a visible timer and no warm-up: the meeting ends on time, every day.
- Blockers surface earlyWhatever stops someone is flagged on day one, and whoever can help says so right away.
- Yesterday meets todayWhat you planned yesterday comes back in your check-in, so commitments are easy to follow.
What everyone prepares
Before the meeting, each person fills in their check-in in a few minutes, from a computer or a phone. Here is one, as it looks in Ronde.
Yesterday
- Fixed the sign-in bug on Safari
- Reviewed Sofia's export change
Today
- Pair with Tom on the billing webhook
- Release 2.4 to staging
Blockers to flag
- Need access to the payment sandbox
How a session runs
- IntroEveryone joins, in the room or on the call: the screen shows who is here and what is on the agenda.
- Round table1.5 min eachEach person in turn shares their check-in, with a timer; the others raise a hand, react or say thanks.
- Open topicsThe subjects raised along the way, with the decisions taken and the follow-up actions.
- Wrap-upThe minutes are ready: decisions, actions and their owners, everyone’s check-in.
Ready with this template
Each meeting turns modules on or off as it likes; these come switched on.
- Reactions and signalsEmoji reactions and signals (too long, louder…) flying across every screen.
- Raised hands and questionsRaise a hand or ask a question during a turn: a questions step follows that turn.
- TimeboxA topic of its own on the agenda, with its own duration and its notes in the minutes.
- Decision logEvery “Decision:” line of the notes, from every session, in one searchable list open to the whole team.
Tips to run it well
- Take detailed problem-solving after the round, with only the people concerned: the stand-up stays at fifteen minutes.
- Put the shared screen on a display in the room: everyone sees the timer and whose turn is next.
