Quickly get insight into team priorities and activities.
A stand-up is a short team meeting held at regular intervals, typically either daily or weekly, to provide transparency into the team’s activity.
However, it's not just useful for managing projects; a stand-up is also a chance for everyone on the team to speak to each other and build team camaraderie.
Use this template to quickly establish the core activities of everyone on the team for a day or a week.
Here's how to use this ultimate team stand-up template to facilitate effective and efficient stand-up meetings.
Distribute the ultimate team stand-up template to team members before the meeting. This allows your team to familiarize themselves with the structure and come prepared with their updates.
At the beginning of the stand-up, have each team member add their name to a colored sticky note and place it on the template. Then, have each person move their sticky note to the cat that best represents how they feel about the state of their workload at the moment. Use the timer at the top of the mural to timebox this part (one minute). This check-in activity helps gauge the overall mood and energy of the team. Have a brief discussion about the responses from the team to encourage open communication and support.
Use the "What's on your radar?" section to indicate the top activities the team is working on for the day or week. Then, organize the activities by moving them closer to the center if they’re high priority or further away on the outer ring if they’re lower priority. You're allowed to put only one sticky note in the center to force prioritization of the most important thing the team is working on.
Review the inner circle by going around the different pie slices one by one. Ensure that everyone on the team knows what their responsibilities are for each assigned task. Time permitting, do the same for the second layer of priority items
Encourage the team to share and discuss any blockers or impediments raised during the stand-up. This is a crucial part of the meeting where collaboration and quick issue resolution can take place.
Conclude the stand-up by summarizing key takeaways and action items. Make sure that everyone is aware of any changes to the plan or new tasks assigned during the meeting.
Mural is the only platform that offers both a shared workspace and training on the LUMA System™, a practical way to collaborate that anyone can learn and apply.
