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:

  1. What did I work on yesterday?
    1. Briefly share progress made.
  2. What will I work on today?
    1. Outline your top priorities for the day.
  3. What blockers am I facing?
    1. 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.
