Daily Standup Poker

One the most significant ceremony of any Agile Team is Daily Standup where the team members get together and plan for their day. But quite often the daily standup turns into a zombie status update meeting where team members come together to blurt out their updates and walk away to their desk without ever maximizing the benefit of that meet up. This technique is a result of a simple experiment that turned into Standup Poker and revolutionized Daily standups. It helps uncover true insights of the teams progress and gets the team talking about strategic planning and plans to remove any impediments as a “team” on daily basis to accomplish their sprint goal and commitments.
