standup meeting

Brief team check-in

A standup meeting is a brief team check-in, typically held daily, where participants often stand to encourage brevity.

Each person reports what they accomplished, what they're working on, and any obstacles they face.

The format originated in software development but has spread to other workplaces: We hash out blockers at the morning standup.

Also called a standup or daily standup.
