Personal Check-in Example
- Richard Hoare's firm includes a personal check-in during stand-ups, asking about team members' well-being.
- This fosters psychological safety and allows individuals to express if they're feeling less productive.
Consistent Stand-up Time
- Hold the daily stand-up at the same time every day to establish consistency and routine.
- Avoid scheduling other meetings during this time to ensure full team participation.
Short and Prepared Stand-ups

- Reserve 5 minutes before the stand-up for individual planning to ensure everyone comes prepared.
