Daily Standup

Coordinate team activities with a consolidated view of everyone's work, progress, and blockers.

Daily Standup provides a team-focused view of all workspace members' activities, making it easy to run productive standup meetings and stay coordinated on project progress. The dashboard shows what everyone has completed, what they're currently working on, and what's blocking their progress.

Accessing Daily Standup

Click Daily Standup in the left sidebar to access the team coordination dashboard. Daily Standup displays information for all members of your current workspace in real time.

Managing workspace members

Daily Standup shows work for all members added to your workspace. To include team members, add them to Workspace members under workspace settings, or use the Add members button at the bottom of the Daily Standup page. Only users added as workspace members appear in the feed — repository access alone isn't enough.

Understanding team member summaries

Each team member appears as a summary card showing their issues, total story points, any blocked issues, and issues blocking other team members. Click on any summary card to expand the full work breakdown, which shows recently completed work, current assignments, and blocked items.

Customizing the standup view

Sorting team members
Use A to Z for a consistent alphabetical sequence, or Shuffle to randomize the order each day so the same person doesn't always start standup discussions.

Team feed time frame
Configure how far back Daily Standup looks when showing completed work: daily (yesterday's work), weekly (past week), or every two weeks. Choose the time frame that matches your team's standup cadence.

Pipeline filtering
Use the All Pipelines filter to specify which workflow stages should be considered active work. This ensures the standup view matches your team's definition of in-progress work.

Today's insights

The right panel displays key metrics for your standup meeting.

Sprint progress shows current sprint status including issues completed, story points, and percentage completion — giving immediate context about whether your team is on track.

Velocity displays average story points completed over recent sprints, helping you understand team capacity. A downward trend may indicate capacity issues or scope creep.

Average days in cycle breaks down cycle time into development and review phases. Long review times compared to development time often indicate bottlenecks worth discussing in standup.

Anomalies and completion time highlights issues taking unusually long to complete, helping identify work that may need additional support or re-scoping.

When there's insufficient recent activity, the panel shows "Your insights are coming!" — metrics appear once issues start moving through your workflow.

Troubleshooting

If team members aren't appearing, verify they've been added as workspace members. If work isn't displaying correctly for team members, check that they're properly assigned to issues within the workspace. For performance issues with large teams, adjust the time frame filter to reduce the amount of historical data being displayed.


FAQ

Q: Why don't I see all my team members in Daily Standup?
A: Only users added as workspace members appear in Daily Standup. Add team members through workspace settings or use the Add members button at the bottom of the page.

Q: Can I change how often Daily Standup shows completed work?
A: Yes. Use the Team feed time frame setting to choose between daily, weekly, or bi-weekly views of completed work based on your team's standup schedule.

Q: What's the difference between A to Z and Shuffle sorting?
A: A to Z shows team members in alphabetical order consistently. Shuffle randomizes the order each day so different team members go first in standup meetings.

Q: What does the pipeline filter affect?
A: The pipeline filter determines which workflow stages are considered active work for all team members, helping you focus on the most relevant items for standup discussions.

Q: What's the difference between Daily Standup and My Work?
