Standup Meetings

Standups follow a per-person format: each participant shares updates on their Jira issues, answers structured questions, and flags blockers. The meeting moves through participants one at a time, with a configurable timer to keep updates brief.

The Standup section covers:

Standup Meeting Preparation (My Update) - adding Jira issues, answering questions, and entering the meeting lobby
Active Standup Meeting - live meeting flow, timers, flagging items, and ending the meeting
Copy Previous Updates - reusing items from a prior standup session

For a full overview, see Standup Meetings.

Team Meetings

Team Meetings use a topic-based agenda. Participants prepare individual items, which are combined into a shared agenda during the live meeting. Scrum Masters and Coverers can add, remove, and reorder items on the fly. Team Meetings also support Planning Poker for estimation and a Team Preview option that lets participants see each other's preparation before the meeting starts.

The Team Meeting section covers:

Configuring Team Meetings - setting up a Team Meeting stream and its options
Team Meeting Preparation (My Update) - adding agenda items, Jira issues, and viewing team preview
Active Team Meeting - live meeting flow, non-joiner loading, per-topic timer, and Planning Poker

For a full overview, see Team Meeting.

Meeting Templates

NASA includes 11 pre-configured templates (1 Standup, 10 Team Meeting) that set up questions, time allocations, and meeting type automatically. Templates are fully customizable after stream creation. You can also change the template on an existing stream via Settings > General without losing data.
