Stand up, or in other words scrum, is a short meeting that team uses to communicate progress to each other. It's done daily with all team members of a squad present either in the office or online.
Standard format of a stand up:
go through the board card by card giving an update on the progress of each of them
Each squad must have a stand up every morning with an exception to management meeting and end of iteration demo days. The maximum time a stand up should last is 15min, however some teams use less time. Also stand ups should happen each day at the same time, they don't get postponed, even if a team member is late.
The reason behind standing up during the daily scrum is to keep the meeting short and to the point for that reason also stand ups don't include full fledged discussions.
Stand ups should be conducted on the big TVs in the office. Each squad is set up on both of them including their zenhub board, backlog and Google Hangout/ appear.in link
What's expected at the stand up?
questions about the progress/ state of the work
questions about the state and quality of task cards and epics
questions about dependancies between various task cards
What should you prepare before the stand up?
make sure your task cards are updated and are in correct columns
make sure you know the latest state of your work e.g if you're waiting for a review to come through
make sure you checked your emails so you know if anything that might impact your work came through over night
make sure you update your team on early leave or similar events
Tips from the PM:
if team members get involved into a lengthy conversation ask them to stop and continue the topic after stand up with only relevant people needed in the discussion
if you're having trouble with the TV, inform your PM and use your laptop in the meantime
