🎙️ The Conversation

Daily standups often don't work well. Instead of listening to others, people are often thinking about what they're going to say. Also, discussing something relevant to only a few people ends up taking up everyone's time.

Stay in sync with your team with a Daily Standup that doesn’t take up another block of time on your calendar everyday. Save 2 to 4 hours of calendar time without sacrificing touch points, connection, and alignment, and give team members a place to easily follow-up with questions or comments.

Follow the steps below to create a Conversation for your team’s Daily Standup.

Create the Conversation

1. From the app Home Screen, tap the “+” to create a Named Conversation (this lets you add more people to the conversation later).**
   1. Name the Conversation: “<Team Name> Daily Standup” (Add logo if you like.)
   2. Attach any frequently access links or documents, such as link to dashboards, data rooms, etc. (Optional)
   3. Add team members via their their email address and hit create.
2. Send a first message to explain the Daily Standup and any relevant rules of engagement in this Conversation. For example: have everyone post at the same time every day.

📨 Team members will receive emails when updates or questions are shared into the Conversation. They can listen and reply from their browser when they are available. The emails also provide links to download the app if they prefer.

**Note: For larger teams needing easier communication and more control over information access, start by creating a Workspace.

Quick tips

• Consider alternating sync and async morning stand-ups or end-of-day wrap-ups. Check out how our team is using this for our Daily Stand-ups.

• Use threads to keep topics organized. For easier-to-follow dialogue, send a new message in the Conversation to start a new thread for each distinct discussion topic. If you want to continue a discussion, hit “reply” to reply to the message in a thread.

• Set a Discussion Topic on new messages to keep threads organized. More about Discussion Topics.

• Copy & paste transcripts right into your workflow, whether that’s a CRM, chatGPT, an email or another document.
