Daily Standup Notes Template

This template is intentionally small. Start with the date and facilitator, then list team-wide callouts like releases, outages, deadlines, and dependencies. In updates, keep each person’s section to progress, plan, and blockers. The “blockers to swarm” section is the real payoff, it turns friction into a shared problem with a clear follow-up.

• Keep it brief: one or two bullets per person is usually enough.

• Make blockers concrete: name the dependency and the next step.

• Use action items sparingly: standup is for coordination, not planning.

The outcome is alignment without overhead.
