What Is Team Standup and How Does It Work in GitScrum?
What is Team Standup and how does it work?
Team Standup is GitScrum's asynchronous daily standup dashboard that displays each team member's yesterday progress, today's plan, blockers, and weekly activity. It replaces 15-30 minute daily meetings with a visual dashboard that developers can update anytime, saving 5+ hours weekly per team [Source: Remote Work Productivity Study 2024].
Team Standup tabs explained
| Tab | Content | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Yesterday | Tasks completed previous day | Show progress made |
| Today | Tasks planned for today | Communicate intentions |
| Blockers | Issues preventing progress | Surface problems early |
| Weekly | Activity summary + chart | Visualize contribution patterns |
How to use Team Standup effectively:
- Set daily update expectation - Team agrees on update time (e.g., before 10am local)
- Select completed tasks for Yesterday - Pick from Done column
- Select planned tasks for Today - Pick from In Progress or Ready
- Flag any Blockers - Describe what's preventing progress
- Review team dashboard - Scan for blockers to help with
- Check Weekly tab - Identify patterns and gaps
Benefits of async standup vs meetings
| Daily Meeting | Team Standup Dashboard |
|---|---|
| 15-30 min daily | 2 min to update |
| Synchronous scheduling | Anytime updates |
| One timezone wins | All timezones equal |
| Verbal, forgotten | Written, searchable |
| Interrupts deep work | Fits workflow |
| 5-10 hours/week lost | 30 min/week total |
Weekly contribution chart
Team Standup's Weekly tab includes a GitHub-style contribution chart showing:
- Activity intensity - Color coding by contribution level
- Consistency patterns - See who works when
- Gap identification - Spot potential issues
- No micromanagement - High-level visibility only
When to use Team Standup
- Remote teams - Multiple timezones
- Async-first culture - Minimize meetings
- Large teams - 15-minute standups become 30+ minutes
- Developer-focused - Protect deep work time
- Distributed agencies - Cross-client visibility
