Daily standup meetings are at the heart of most agile and lean teams. They are often held at the beginning of the work day, and often with attendees literally standing up. This keeps the updates short and to the point.
The format for a standup is simple (it has to be—otherwise you would need to sit down). Standups should take only 5-10 minutes, which means everyone needs to be concise, clear, and prepared.
There are only three questions for each attendee:
One of the most important aspects of facilitating a standup is to keep everyone's answers short. If someone goes off on a tangent, they should save their discussion for after the standup. That way, anyone who doesn't need to listen in can skip the update.

I loved the lightweight experience of Shuffleboard. It felt like Jackbox for a business workshop… and it really did help us get productive input from a large group of people at once. I think I’d want to use this tool even if I was doing an in person session!
The best part of Shuffleboard is how everyone joins just by clicking a link. I can immediately collect everybody's ideas in a transparent way, but stay in control of the chaos and finish the meeting with an actionable, shareable plan.
