I've previously run with a #standup channel in Slack for distributed teams, where everyone makes sure there's an update in-channel at 0900 GMT of what they did in the preceding time they worked.
Plus an #achievements channel where you make a note of anything you did that was significant (I've also heard this called #whathappened)
I'm doing some consulting on the side (while starting https://getctx.io https://getctx.io) and at this client we have a daily physical standup with a video call on Zoom, plus #achievements in Slack.
- priitmaxx 9y agonice. Does everyone in the team follow the protocol and like it?
- rorygibson 9y agoYeah it works quite well. As usual, the biggest problems are with video and mics in meeting rooms with bad acoustics. Everything else is good. #achievements works especially well because it gives a persistent, short-form log that people can read quickly when they come back from days off, for instance.
- priitmaxx 9y agocool good to know!
- kdahlhaus 9y agoWe minimized that problem by using a free app on a smart-phone that turned it into a microphone for the PC running the Skype call. Team members in the room would pass the phone around.
