Stand-ups

Time bot helps tracking team’s productivity via daily stand-up meetings, asking every member the 3 key questions at the beginning of the day (e.g.):

  • What have you finished since yesterday?
  • What will you do today?
  • Any impediments in your way?

A short report is posted to the channel of your preference so everyone can know what the others are up to or help teammates to resolve blockers.

To enable and customise daily stand-ups head over to Settings > Stand-ups
