A "stand-up" is a short, daily meeting often used in agile project management, particularly in software development. During this meeting, team members gather, usually while standing, to quickly share updates on their work. Each person typically answers three questions: what they accomplished yesterday, what they plan to do today, and if they face any obstacles. This format keeps the meeting brief and focused, encouraging team collaboration and accountability. Stand-ups help teams stay aligned and informed about each other's progress. They foster communication and can quickly identify issues that need attention. By keeping the meeting short, teams can maintain momentum and productivity throughout the day.
