What is Team Standup in VS Code?

Async daily standup panel in your editor. View what team completed (Yesterday), what's planned (Today), blockers, team workload, and weekly digest—without scheduling meetings or opening a browser.

What tabs does Team Standup have?

Six tabs: Contributors (who worked), Yesterday (completed work), Today (planned work), Blockers (flagged issues), Team (workload overview), Weekly (digest by day). Tabs lazy-load when clicked for responsiveness.

How do I check for blocked work?

Click the Blockers tab—lists all tasks flagged as blocked. Shows task, blocker flag, who reported it. Check daily before coding to identify and resolve team impediments quickly.

What summary statistics does Team Standup show?

Four metrics at top: Completed (tasks finished), In Progress (being worked), Blocked (flagged blockers), Hours Tracked (total team hours). Instant snapshot of team activity.

How do I use Weekly tab for retrospectives?

Weekly tab shows digest organized by day: completed work, new tasks, hours logged. Pull it up during sprint retros for data-driven discussion instead of asking 'what did we do?'

Team Standup

Run async daily standups directly from your code editor. Review what the team completed, what is in progress, and what is blocked — without scheduling a meeting.

The Problem This Solves

Synchronous standup meetings pull developers out of flow state at the worst possible time. Yet teams need visibility into daily progress and blockers. Async standups give everyone the information without the interruption, but requiring a browser visit to check them adds another context switch.

GitScrum Studio puts the standup panel inside your editor. Check team progress between code edits, not in a meeting room.

What You Are Looking At

Click Team Standup under the Plan section in the sidebar tree. The panel opens with six tabs that provide a complete picture of daily team activity.

Summary Statistics

At the top of the panel, four metrics give an instant snapshot:

Metric	Description
Completed	Tasks finished in the reporting period
In Progress	Tasks currently being worked on
Blocked	Tasks flagged as blocked
Hours Tracked	Total hours logged by the team

The Six Tabs

Contributors Tab

Lists all team members who contributed work. Each contributor shows their activity summary with chart data. Filter by time period and activity type to focus on what matters.

Yesterday Tab

Shows tasks that were completed or worked on yesterday. Each entry displays the task, who worked on it, and its status. Use this tab to catch up on what happened while you were heads-down coding.

Today Tab

Displays tasks planned for today. See who is working on what right now and what the team aims to deliver by end of day.

Blockers Tab

Lists all tasks flagged as blocked. Each entry shows the task, the blocker flag, and who reported it. This is the most critical tab — check it daily to identify and resolve impediments quickly.

Team Tab

Overview of all team members and their current workload. See assignment distribution and identify anyone who might need help or has capacity.

Weekly Tab

A digest view organized by day of the week. See daily breakdowns of completed work, new tasks, and hours logged. This is useful for sprint retrospectives and weekly status reviews.

Lazy Loading

Tabs load data only when you first click them. This keeps the panel responsive — you do not wait for all six tabs to load when you only need Blockers.

Pro Tips (Once You Are Comfortable)

Start your day with Blockers tab. Before writing any code, check if anyone on your team is stuck. A quick comment or code review can unblock someone.

Check Yesterday tab during code review. If a teammate submitted a PR, their yesterday tasks give context for what changed and why.

Weekly tab for retros. Instead of asking "what did we do this sprint?", pull up the weekly digest for a data-driven retrospective.

Leave the panel pinned. Pin Team Standup as a tab and check it between coding sessions instead of scheduling interruptions.

Permissions

The extension respects your GitScrum account permissions:

Agency Owners and Managers: Full access to all standup data and team analytics
