Sometimes inertia creeps into the daily standup without us even noticing. Suddenly, it’s no longer about real exchange, but just quick status checks. Here are a few questions that offer a different perspective and might shake you out of your daily routine.

Quick wins:

  • Almost finished tickets: What do we still need to close them?
  • Old tickets: Which tickets have been open for a particularly long time? Why?
  • Process: Where is work piling up (e.g. testing, review, deployment), or what is currently consuming the most time?
  • Priority: What can we re-prioritize today to deliver something more important?

Ending with clarity:
Write down only 1–2 decisions and review them regularly.
