Prysm Note for standups
The daily standup fails when everyone spends the first five minutes trying to remember what they did. If tasks are updated as work happens, the update is a summary of a list, not a memory exercise.
What matters here
- Update task status as you go, not at the meeting
- A today view filtered per person
- Blockers as tasks with an owner
- A short note for anything not in the list
- A timebox that the list makes possible
Before the meeting
Each person looks at what moved yesterday and what is planned today. Two minutes of reading replaces five minutes of recollection, and the meeting starts with content.
Blockers
A blocker should become a task with an owner, not a sentence that disappears when the call ends. Otherwise the same blocker is reported for a week.
Keeping it short
A standup drifts into problem solving. Note the topic, take it offline, and keep the round moving. The list makes that easier because the details are already written down.
