Its surprising but there are quite big number of employees in different organisations where you can easily listen below conversations.
What did I do yesterday?… I can’t remember… What am I doing today?… I dunno…!
This is why daily meeting is needed for team leaders for team. Yes understood, but why "Stand Up" meeting? Here I am trying to explain my experiments on daily stand up meetings with quite big software professional teams.
Most of those are psychological aspects contributing to betterment of meetings, growth in productivity and finally feeds to vision of Organisation's business.
1. Stand Up Means Energy :
Human body gets more active when person stands up. By nature it gets some positive energy for walk, talk, run, fight ;-) etc. And here is importance of "Stand Up". Most important each participant is "in the meeting" and active.
2. Time Saver :
If team gathers in daily morning meeting and had comfortable chairs for meeting, all will start chatting and trying to make meeting more lengthy. If you can observe neatly, in case of stand up meetings length of meeting for same conversation decreases.
3. Face to Face :
In stand up meeting, its easy to see each other's face while someone is talking and sharing his/her statuses and problems in tasks. It gives more impact in conversation. Generally in stand up meetings, automatically a circular standing happens, where each one can see all the participants.
4. Transparent & Quick Help :
As all are standing, watching each others and listening each others actively - if someone is facing some issue and other person knew solution - its easy for him/her to say I will help you with it. Also such meetings brings transparency among participants about who is doing what and when.
5. Strong Bonding :
Daily stand-up meetings brings strong bonding among participants. I have built strong teams in my experience by conducting daily stand up meetings at day start.
I have shared my observations in above points, if you would like to add more points it can help me. Please comment for this article.
