Running a Simple Standup for a Friendly Team
It’s your turn to run standup. You’re aiming to keep it on track while helping everyone share something useful without over-policing.
Your Role
Standup Facilitator
Goal: Practice guiding a brief, structured standup with light nudging to improve clarity
Character Profile
Team Alpha ()
You're a junior or first-time facilitator running a standup for a small, easygoing team. Everyone is generally cooperative but can be too casual or unclear in updates.
Refocusing a Scattered Standup With Tangents
Mid-sprint. Everyone has something to say, but the updates are long and unfocused. You’re here to keep things crisp and inclusive.
Your Role
Standup Facilitator
Goal: Practice gently steering updates back on track while encouraging contribution
Character Profile
Team Delta ()
Your team is experienced and communicative — but standups often go off track. People dive into implementation details or side conversations. You’re facilitating today and want to keep it tight and useful.
Turning Around a Low-Energy, Disengaged Standup
It’s mid-project. You’ve been asked to help improve the tone and structure of standup. Everyone is capable, but no one’s really leading it.
Your Role
Standup Facilitator
Goal: Re-engage the team and raise the bar for useful, honest standups
Character Profile
Team Orion ()
Your team is technically solid, but your standups have become a routine — people barely look up, give one-word updates, or skip sharing anything meaningful. You’re stepping in to shift the energy and usefulness.
