Standuply
The purpose of a Weekly Standup is to prompt the engineers to think about what they hope to accomplish for the week. A Daily Standup is meant to get them to do the same for the day. An emphasis is placed on having the engineers to take the time and plan out the work that they do. The Standups are one of the means we use to enforce that mentality for the engineering team.
A weekly stand-up typically runs at the beginning of the week, with the daily stand-up running every working day. Here are examples of the questions used for each stand-up:
