The Catalpa Handbook

Post-contract implementation

Daily standup

Daily standup

  • Outline: Promote frequent opportunities to inspect and adapt.
  • Goal: Ensure that the team is focusing on the right thing.
  • Duration: Under 10 minutes.
  • Frequency: Every day.

How-to

  1. Assemble all the team members as soon as everyone is at the office.
  2. Everyone answers to these 3 questions:
  3. What have you worked on yesterday?
  4. What will you work on today?
  5. What is preventing you from doing your work?

Notes:

  • Keep it simple and leave details out. If someone needs to discuss anything, do it after the meeting.
  • Don't wait all morning. If someone is missing by the usual time, go ahead anyway.
  • If the team has remote workers and the timezone difference allows, setup a recurring Meet room.
  • Prepare the call in advance, before assembling everyone.
