Everyone answers three questions from their own device: what they accomplished yesterday, what they plan to focus on today, and what is blocking them. The responses appear on a shared screen so the whole team sees where attention is needed before the day starts.
The classic standup format relies on each person remembering to mention blockers out loud. In practice, many blockers go unmentioned because they feel minor or people do not want to slow down the meeting. A written, simultaneous format surfaces them before the conversation starts.
How to use it:
- Share the participation link at the start of the standup, or include it in the daily calendar invite
- Everyone responds in under two minutes from their phone or laptop
- Project the responses on screen and focus the conversation on blockers and dependencies, skipping what is already clear
Works for: daily standups, weekly team check-ins, remote and hybrid teams, sprint planning kick-offs, or any recurring meeting where you want to hear from everyone without going around the room one by one.
