Daily Stand-Ups Format
Stand-ups are short, focused check-ins designed to keep teams aligned, remove blockers, and maintain momentum on projects. At Forge Marketing, they are a key part of our daily rhythm.
Format
- Duration: 15 minutes max
- When: Every morning at 9:30 AM
- Where: Team workspace (in-person or video call)
- Who: All members of the project team (Accounts, Creative, Strategy, Digital, PMO)
Agenda
Each team member answers three questions:
- What did I work on yesterday?
- Briefly share progress made.
- What will I work on today?
- Outline your top priorities for the day.
- What blockers am I facing?
- Highlight anything preventing you from moving forward.
Guidelines
- Keep updates short and to the point.
- No problem-solving during the stand-up — blockers are logged and addressed after the meeting.
- Everyone contributes, regardless of role.
- Start on time, end on time.
Benefits
- Improves visibility of work across the team.
- Identifies blockers early to prevent delays.
- Encourages accountability and focus.
- Strengthens team communication and collaboration.
