Standup Meetings

Standup meetings follow a per-person format where each participant shares updates on Jira issues, answers structured questions, and flags blockers. The meeting progresses through participants one at a time with a configurable timer.

Preparation (My Update)

Before the live meeting, each participant prepares their update by adding Jira issues, text items, and headlines to each standup question. The right panel suggests issues based on the stream's filter configuration. Participants can also search for issues, add Confluence pages, and write comments that sync to Jira.

Live Meeting

Once participants have prepared, the Scrum Master or Coverer starts the meeting from the lobby. Each participant presents their update in turn while a configurable timer tracks the duration. Team members can react with emojis, flag items for follow-up, and open Jira issues directly from the meeting view.

Copy Previous Updates

When tasks span multiple days, participants can copy items from their previous standup into the current preparation. This saves time and ensures continuity across meetings.

For instructions on reusing previous updates, see Copy and Paste Previous Standup Updates.

Only Scrum Masters and Coverers can start and end standup meetings. All participants can prepare updates.

Prepare your updates before the scheduled meeting time. Well-prepared standups finish faster.
