Spend less time in meetings sharing updates. Friday makes it easy to walk into meetings with updates out of the way.

Responses roll up into reports, so you don't have to waste your time compiling responses for external stakeholders.

A daily scrum is a fifteen minute meeting where a team (frequently engineering) aligns around what they accomplished in the past, what they are working on today, and any blockers that they face.

These frequent meetings are a central activity for agile teams to stay connected and accountable to each other, while surfacing blockers as early as possible.

This fast feedback loop helps you identify and resolve blockers quickly. It also serves as a helpful checkpoint and creates healthy communication routines.

We recommend the following questions in your daily scrum:

What did you accomplish yesterday? (open-ended)

What are your priorities for today? (open-ended)

As you roll out this process, you can add and remove questions over time. If you use the Friday routine builder, you can customize a variety of questions, like emojis, open-ended responses, and more.

Yes, this is completely customizable. For example, you can change the following options:

Who should fill it out - choose people who need to give an update

Questions - pick from a variety of types like sentiment, emojis, yes/no, open-ended, and more

Notifications - where should the status update responses be sent?

Integrations - ask people for updates over Slack, Microsoft Teams, or email.

The Friday routine builder makes it easy to run virtually any communication habit you can think of - the daily scrum meeting is one of unlimited options you can choose. You see other examples on our templates page.

Yes! We integrate with Slack and Microsoft Teams and can automate any routine communication and updates from these tools.

There are a few best practices to make the most of this information sharing meeting at work. We've shared our top tips below:

1.) Use these reports to save time in meetings - meetings are great for collaboration, not basic information sharing. Use the daily scrum template to spend less time sharing information and more time resolving blockers.

2.) Document output, not activity - encourage the team to document output vs. activity. This is a major lesson we learned in the book, High Output Management. It's not useful to see a list of activities someone completed for the week. 

3.) Keep it simple - Don't reinvent the wheel. The more questions you ask, the more likely someone is to not complete the scrum. Limit to 3-4 questions.

5.) Map work to a higher-level goal - how did the day-to-day work contribute to a higher-level purpose or goal? Make sure to document why you are working on a particular item.

6.) Pull in work from third-party tools - if you use project management tools like Asana or Jira, make sure to link to the appropriate activity if someone wants to learn more. We can help with this too.
