What is a daily standup?

The Daily standup is a brief 15-minute daily check-in for the Scrum team to do three things:

  1. Inspects the previous day's work.
  2. Plans the current day’s work. 
  3. Identifies any barriers to getting things done. 

It’s called a standup because it’s so short you don’t need to sit down.
