## 10 Tips for How to Run a Daily Standup Meeting

## When should you reevaluate your approach to your daily stand-up meeting?

If people aren’t getting useful information from the daily stand-up meetings, the meetings will begin to be perceived as a waste of their time. They will stop attending. This is the first symptom of a waning stand-up meeting.

Once one person stops attending, like a house of cards, attendance dwindles. If core team members aren’t there, the meeting is a bust.

Keep an eye out for warning signs and re-evaluate your approach to daily stand-ups! They are worth the investment.
