Standups, Not Status Meetings: Are They Right for You?

Daily standup meetings are becoming a popular trend in meeting culture as a more productive alternative to traditional meetings that often result in little to no accomplishments. In this type of meeting, participants stand up while sharing information, which encourages them to keep their message short and to the point. Standups are timeboxed to 15 minutes or less, making them a project management godsend for many teams. To determine if daily standup meetings are a good fit for your team, consider questions like whether your meetings are unproductive, if things are getting lost, if team members are working together, and if you want a healthier and happier team.
