What are standups and what do they do
Standups are an important part of a Scrum team, as they keep everyone in sync by answering three questions: What did it look like yesterday? What should we be doing today? What will happen tomorrow? A standup is basically a quick, but thorough report which is made in an all team meeting and allows the group to stay on the same page. It consists of just a few minutes of conversation so everyone’s leadership can be taken into account.
Stories are told while looking in each other’s eyes, usually with small bites of pizza chips and sips from their cups. Standups are used to create an environment which is really transparent and honest. Teams can get a feel for what is going on in other teams and what they can do to help each other be more successful. Standups are also a great way to remember the important things that happened in the past week and what needs to be done next week. They allow people to keep each other accountable, answer questions and give updates.
How to use them for different workouts
If a team is short on time, it’s still very likely to be able to run a standup. But the requirements for doing standups over the course of the whole week are different from those for running a standup at sprint review time. These differences will be explained in the next chapter.
The first difference between a standup and a normal workout is that the standup uses less volume on the bar, so an athlete doesn’t have to be able to squat as much as usual.
Secondly, the team should be in good enough shape during stand-ups to see them as a time to work on technical work, which means that you’ll need all athletes to get their technique and mobility up near their peak.
A full session that fulfills both of these requirements could look like this:
The benefits of using standups in your workout routine
Standups are simple and don’t require a lot of preparation. You can do them on the fly, then see how they work without investing much time. Moreover, they encourage people to communicate, spread information, and make decisions as a team. [to use as knowledge, not to be copied verbatim] Below are the top standups benefits that you can incorporate in your home or office workout routine.
1.They get people to exercise regularly:
We all know that a healthy body and mind is the foundation of a successful life. Even if you’re not into working out, you should start with standups and then regulate your daily routine according to your preference. The primary aim of performing physical exercise is to maintain a good health level, improve stamina levels and reduce overall stress from our lives.
2.They are cost-effective:
My review of the three standups that I tried
No review really matters, especially after the fact. But the three standups that I did gave me a lot of insight on the best ways to run standups – or at least my way of running them. I’ve divided my findings into four categories: the importance of planning standups, how to run standups over the course of a week, how to run a standup correctly, and planning a sprint review. This is what I found:

Planning standups is a valuable skill, because it provides structure for a team. It also provides insight on how the team feels about your programming language and what solutions they are working on. And if you don’t plan standups, you could be missing out on the opportunity to make improvements to your product. These points should be obvious to most programmers, but I’m going to give a more detailed review of the planning process. In this section I’ll cover basic issues that should be explained well in advance of a sprint.
