The $15,000 Morning Coffee: Why Your Standups are Leaking Capital

[#1]

If your Daily Standup feels like a "status report" where everyone is just reading their Jira tickets out loud, you aren’t running a ceremony. You’re running a leak.

For a team of 7, a 30-minute "noisy" standup plus 30 minutes of manual prep for the Scrum Master costs your business roughly $15,000–$20,000 per year in lost engineering hours.

Most of that money is spent on The Noise—scanning through hundreds of routine updates just to find the one change that actually matters.

Stop Playing "Jira Detective" 🕵️‍♂️

We built Daily Standup Governance for Jira to be a Signal Extractor. It stops you from digging through data and starts you facilitating delivery.

For the Scrum Master: Tactical Precision

Instead of hunting for what happened, our 'Important Board Changes' view highlights only the "Delivery Killers":

• The "Ghost" Reopen: A ticket moved back from Done. Why?

• Silent Scope Creep: Work added to an active sprint without a conversation.

• The Estimate Shift: A task's effort doubled mid-sprint. Capacity is now at risk.

You don't ask "What did you do?" You ask: "I see the estimate for the API task doubled—do we need to drop a lower priority item to stay on track?" That is how you protect your team's velocity.

For the Stakeholder: Radical Predictability

Retrospectives shouldn't be based on "who is the loudest in the room." Our Retro Signals turn gut feelings into Facts that you can act:

• Stability Score: Did we actually follow the plan we committed to?

• Flow and Execution: Identify what hijacked our "planned" innovation?

• Team Energy: An anonymous "vibe check" to catch burnout before it turns into a resignation letter.

The Value: From "What?" to "Why?"

We don't show you progress; we show you exceptions.

• Stable (🟢): Keep moving.

• At Risk (🟡): Watch closely.

• Needs Attention (🔴): Your delivery is in danger. Discuss this NOW.

Stop managing the board. Start governing the delivery.
