🎤 Your Next Standup Just Got Easier - Try Standups in Jira!

[#1]

Hey Atlassian Community! 👋

We’re excited to introduce a new way to run your daily standups, right from your Jira Software board! Now your team can collaborate, share updates, and stay aligned, all without leaving Jira!

Why we’re excited about this new experience

At Atlassian, we know daily standups are the heartbeat of many teams. But let’s be honest, sometimes they can get a little unorganised, lose focus and run too long. That’s why we built the standups feature in Jira: to help your daily syncs run more efficiently and fit naturally into how your team already operates.

You’ll be able to:

• Run standups directly from your Jira board, providing visibility into your team’s work and allowing quick updates without losing context.

• Stay focused and productive with a built-in timer and clear indicators of who has already given their update, so you don’t lose track during standup.

• Effortlessly manage participants by reordering or skipping team members as needed. You can even save your preferred ordering for future standups.

• Customise standups to suit your team’s needs, by adjusting your timer settings and preferred view density

Now your team can focus on the important updates, instead of dealing with the overhead of running standups.

See it in action! 🎬

Here’s a quick look at what it’s like to run a standup directly from your board:

Can't wait to try this out with our team 💙

This will be useful for some teams.  My 2c from first impressions after seeing this is I won't be using it.

In a past role I did experimental sprints over 6 months comparing online vs physical boards for standup. We measured team engagement, quality/quantity of communication at standup consider our goal of standup was a mini planning session (who needed what from who, is everyone fully utilised), and identification of risks/issues.

What we found was that there are drawbacks to using a digital board over a physical board that I'd love see addressed by this view. 

With a physical board backed by digital tickets, we had a rule that only the assignee of a card from the previous day could physically move a card on the wall during standup, and staff could only assign cards to themselves at standup whilst the digital cards were left to move during the work-day in the background.

When we used pure digital board, as cards moved during the day, staff were not prompted for key communications resulting in

- less celebration of achievements resulting in lower team moral,

- less handover communications such from developer to tester, resulting in late detection of conflicts/issues

- lower priority work being started before higher priority work,

- digital cards being pushed to staff, rather than pulled resulting in later identification of over allocation and less 'planning' on how to respond to it (e.g. re-allocate to another staff member). 

- the scrum master focused on driving the mouse/keyboard with less focus on facilitating the standup and helping the team be high performers

- standups taking longer as we tended to step through every card every standup,

- more reporting of standups being a chore rather than helping the team members

- nowhere to display other information relevant to standup (e.g. sprint goals, or team rules) resting in less focus or quality slippage

For now, I'll stick to a Confluence Whiteboard for standup as it is the closest I can get to a physical wall.

Hold on.
I distinctly remember having tried Standups from Jira boards several months ago.
Like from before the big UI change.
It looked pretty much just like the example GIF.

That's great, though can we not create stand-up set-ups in advance? I have several teams using the same board, so right now I would have to manually select each person in the stand-up before starting the meeting.

@Marine Redon you can create a board just for standup :)
