What is a daily stand-up?
A short daily meeting for a team to coordinate the day. What belongs in it, what does not, and why it happens standing up.
The daily stand-up is a short daily meeting — usually 15 minutes — in which a team aligns on what it is working on and what is blocked. It is a coordination slot, not a status report to a manager.
What belongs in it
Anything affecting today: blockers, handovers, work two people are both waiting on. What does not belong is the solution itself — discussions get noted and held afterwards with the people involved, otherwise eight people sit through twenty minutes of a conversation that concerns two.
Why standing
Because standing is uncomfortable and keeps the meeting short. That is the entire trick, and it works remotely too — just with a clock instead of tired legs.
In Zuuna
The board is the agenda: you walk the cards right to left instead of going around the people. That points the conversation at whatever is nearly finished.
FAQ
Does a Kanban team need a daily?
It is not prescribed, but it is common. The purpose — surfacing blockers early — does not depend on sprints.
What if the team is distributed?
Then by video or in writing at a fixed time. More important than the format is that a blocker reaches someone the same day.
