How to Implement Asynchronous Standup for Remote Teams
Synchronous standups fail remote teams across timezones. GitScrum's Team Standup provides async visibility—developers update by moving tasks on the board, and the dashboard shows yesterday's work, today's focus, and blockers without requiring anyone to wake up early or stay late for meetings.
