Daily Meeting 15 minutes or less per day - (30 seconds per person not to exceed 15 minutes)
Same time same place same zoom or teams link everyday
No pontificating to solve problems - problems that can be resolved in 30 seconds or less should be resolved
No electronics of any kind - Yes this includes the Jira Board
No Pen or paper to record - no output to the meeting
Team rules/guidelines should be clearly posted
Do not be late
Fines go to a reputable charity
Team stands in a circle
Visitors around the outside as they do not participate
Visitors follow the same rules to be present
Always end on time
Stick to the REAL three questions
