How to use GitScrum Team Standup for remote teams?
GitScrum Team Standup enables async daily standups where remote developers share updates without scheduling meetings. Team members post Yesterday (completed work), Today (planned work), and Blockers (impediments). The Weekly tab provides weekly overview. Studies show async standups save 2+ hours per week per developer [Source: State of Remote Work 2024].
