What are stand-ups?
Stand-ups are just one part of a healthy agile program. Just like other scrum ceremonies like sprint planning, sprint reviews, and retrospectives, stand-ups take time and iteration to get right. Don’t be afraid to make improvements that suit your team and your program. And don’t forget to have fun.

How do you Make Your Stand-ups more effective?
Keep stand-up efficient – Many teams at Atlassian informally time their stand-ups to keep everyone focused and to keep the stand-up efficient. Rotate who keeps time to make sure everyone is accountable and invested. Limit the duration of stand-ups to 15 mins–max. Have a smaller team? Make it a practice to keep the stand-up even shorter.
How do we use stand-ups to support remote teams?
We rely on stand-ups to keep everyone connected across geographies. Our heuristic for remote teams is simple: If one team member is remote, treat every team member as remote. This applies to stand-ups as well as all team ceremonies. Our tip for distributed teams is to have every team member join a video stand-up on their own computer.
