Daily Standup Meeting Policy

Daily standup meetings are a common way for teams and groups to touch base on their ongoing activities and responsibilities. Employees can discuss the progress they have made, tasks underway, upcoming milestones or roadblocks they are facing that they need help with and ask general questions to team leaders.

The purpose of this policy, written by Scott Matteson for TechRepublic Premium, is to lay out guidelines for appropriate and effective daily standup meetings.

    Featured text from the policy:

    Standup meetings should be held at the same time every day. A half-hour duration is recommended for brevity (although it may be longer, depending on team size). All meetings must start and end on time. Any unresolved discussions should either be shelved until the next meeting or taken offline, involving only the relevant team members, assuming their schedule permits. If not, a follow-up meeting should be booked to resolve the issue.

    Each meeting participant should focus on sharing updates, which entail their last accomplishment related to the topic, what they are currently working on and whether they need assistance from anyone on the team to resolve roadblocks. If the latter option is requested, a follow-up meeting should be booked with individuals who can assist to resolve the problem.
