What to Include (6 parts)
3. Old Business
The first order of business during stand-up meetings often involves addressing matters that have yet to be resolved or completed, such as reviewing previous meeting minutes. The meeting leader can also inquire about the attendees’ progress on certain outstanding projects or goals during this allocated time on the agenda.
4. New Business
Stand-up meetings are often held to address the ever-changing circumstances and issues/troubles that arise throughout the span of each workday. Therefore, after tackling old business, the leader and attendees shall discuss upcoming affairs as well as any new, immediate tasks or short-term goals.
5. Round-Robin Discussion
It is crucial to open the floor for questions and comments in order to allow attendees to voice their input. An effective way to do this is through a round-robin-style discussion, which involves each attendee chiming in with their feedback on the old and new matters in question. Having this item on the agenda will also encourage attendees to reserve their questions until the allocated time for open discussion.
