Module 5 · The workplace voice Lesson 13 of 15
Stand-ups and status updates
A stand-up is three lines in a fixed order: what you did, what you will do, what is blocking you. Done well it takes twenty seconds and makes you look organised.
Worked example
"Yesterday I finished the login tests. Today I start the payment tests. I am blocked on staging access" - no story, no apology, three facts.
Your practice task
Write and practise a three-line stand-up update for your current work.
Do this before moving on. Reading a solution teaches the shape of it; typing it teaches you.
Key takeaway
A stand-up is three lines in a fixed order: what you did, what you will do, what is blocking you. Done well it takes twenty seconds and makes you look organised.
