<P> Some software development methodologies envision daily team - meetings to make commitments to team members . The daily commitments allow participants to know about potential challenges as well as to coordinate efforts to resolve difficult and / or time - consuming issues . The stand - up has particular value in Agile software development processes, such as Scrum or Kanban, but can be utilized in context of any software - development methodology . </P> <P> The meetings are usually timeboxed to between 5 and 15 minutes, and take place with participants standing up to remind people to keep the meeting short and to - the - point . The stand - up meeting is sometimes also referred to as the "stand - up", "morning rollcall" or "daily scrum". </P> <P> The meeting should take place at the same time and place every working day . All team members are encouraged to attend, but the meetings are not postponed if some of the team members are not present . One of the crucial features is that the meeting is a communication opportunity among team members and not a status update to management or stakeholders . Although it is sometimes referred to as a type of status meeting, the structure of the meeting is meant to promote follow - up conversation, as well as to identify issues before they become too problematic . The practice also promotes closer working relationships in its frequency, need for follow - up conversations and short structure, which in turn result in a higher rate of knowledge transfer--a much more active intention than the typical status meeting . Team members take turns speaking, sometimes passing along a token to indicate the current person allowed to speak . Each member talks about progress since the last stand - up, the anticipated work until the next stand - up and any impediments, taking the opportunity to ask for help or collaborate . </P> <P> Team members may sometimes ask for short clarifications and make brief statements, such as "Let's talk about this more after the meeting", but the stand - up does not usually consist of full - fledged discussions . </P>
