Standups

A short daily check-in your team writes in their own time. You skip the meeting and still know what is stuck.

In this guide you’ll

  • Write a daily update in under two minutes
  • Add work you already did with one tap
  • Raise a blocker so it does not get lost
  • Know exactly who can read what you write

Write your daily update

Section titled “Write your daily update”

  1. Step 1: Open today’s standup

    Open Standups in the sidebar, under Check-ins. Today’s standups are at the top. Choose the one for your project.

  2. Step 2: Write your update

    Type a line under Yesterday and Today. Your update saves as you type, so there is no submit button. Writing your first line marks you as posted.

  3. Step 3: Add things you did with one tap

    Under each input you see suggestions from your tasks, time entries and calendar. Tap one to add it as a line. Only you see suggestions until you tap one.

  4. Step 4: Raise a blocker

    Choose Raise a blocker, describe it, and pick who is on it. “Nobody yet” is fine. The blocker stays on the facilitator’s list until somebody clears it.

What the lead sees

Section titled “What the lead sees”

The Team view lists who has not posted yet, then open blockers, oldest first, then everybody’s updates. A blocker open three working days or more reads “Open 4 days” in amber, so it stands out without colour too.

Who can read it

Section titled “Who can read it”

The page says it plainly before you write: your project’s members and facilitators can read updates. A 1:1 standup is visible only to the people in it. Owners and admins cannot read it either.
