Standups drag when nobody knows who is next. Agreeing on an order removes the pause between speakers.
Random order
Spin the whole team once at the start. Everyone sees the order, and nobody is always first or always last.
Other orders that work
- By board column: start with work closest to done.
- Round robin: the last speaker picks the next one.
- Alphabetical on Mondays, random the rest of the week.
Keep it short
- Show the order on screen for the whole meeting.
- Park detailed discussions until everyone has spoken.
- Keep a rough time per person.
