About the daily standup meeting template
A daily standup is a short meeting in which agile teams connect on completed and upcoming work. Typically, teams meet at a set time each day for 15 minutes to sync on progress, align on priorities, and raise any blockers. You can use this daily standup meeting template to document what each attendee shares and track the team's progress over time.

Overview of the daily standup meeting template
This template is helpful for keeping team members in sync and streamlining communication during daily standup meetings. Each person takes their turn sharing what they did yesterday, what they plan to accomplish today, and any challenges standing in their way. Recording this information in a single, accessible place keeps priorities in focus — and helps everyone stay on track toward collective goals.
Add sticky notes to the whiteboard to represent completed tasks, in-progress work, and blockers. Designate colors to represent the different types of updates and make it easy for everyone to quickly understand how work is moving forward.
How to use the daily standup meeting template
Share updates and challenges so everyone knows the status of your collective efforts.
Customize: Add a section on the whiteboard for each team member. Color-match sticky notes and columns to make it easier for folks to quickly see the different types of work. Save your board as a custom template so you can create a new one every day.
Prepare: Share a link to your board ahead of the daily standup and ask invitees to add answers to the template questions (What did you do yesterday? What will you work on today? Do you have any blockers?). Doing this work ahead of time helps you move through updates efficiently during the meeting.
Participate: Use a round-robin format to give everyone a chance to speak. Keep updates concise and avoid problem-solving — address any blockers after the meeting.
Iterate: Aim to create an atmosphere where team members feel comfortable sharing challenges. Try experimenting with different formats and techniques to build this type of open environment.
