Stand-up meeting

The daily commitments allow participants to know about potential challenges as well as to coordinate efforts to resolve difficult or time-consuming issues.

The stand-up has particular value in agile software development processes,[3][4] such as scrum or Kanban, but can be utilized in context of any software-development methodology.

One of the crucial features is that the meeting is a communication opportunity among team members and not a status update to management or stakeholders.

The practice also promotes closer working relationships in its frequency, need for follow-up conversations and short structure, which in turn result in a higher rate of knowledge transfer – a much more active intention than the typical status meeting.

[7] Team members may sometimes ask for short clarifications and make brief statements, such as "Let's talk about this more after the meeting", but the stand-up does not usually consist of full-fledged discussions.
