Daily standup
A short, time-boxed daily meeting where a team synchronises on progress and surfaces blockers, traditionally each member covering what they did, what they'll do next, and what's in their way. The standup exists for coordination and impediment-removal, not status reporting to a manager; when it drifts into the latter it loses most of its value.
The daily standup earns its place only when it's a coordination ritual, not a status report to a manager. Done well, it surfaces blockers and dependencies fast and is over in ten minutes; done badly, it becomes a serial round of "yesterday I… today I…" that informs no one and bores everyone. The test is simple: if the standup could be replaced by reading the board, it has stopped doing its actual job.
