Daily standup
A short daily check-in about progress, the next useful step and anything blocking it.
What it means
A short daily check-in, with the Scrum Guide 2020 reference (verified): “The Daily Scrum is a 15-minute event for the Developers of the Scrum Team.” Explain the familiar three questions and that the 2020 guide frames the event around progress toward the Sprint Goal . Async standups for distributed teams, and a solo standup for people who work alone.
The term is most useful as a shared description. It does not remove the need to look at the actual task, evidence or constraint in front of you.
A practical example
“Finished the import; next is validation; blocked on the sample file” gives a team enough context to respond.
Put it into practice
- Name the concrete situation before applying the label. Daily standup is useful only when it changes a choice, boundary or next action.
- Make the state visible: write the owner, time, source or stopping condition down instead of relying on memory.
- Review what happened. Keep the part that reduced ambiguity and change the part that added ceremony without helping the work.
