The Daily Standup is a Planning Meeting—Not a Status Meeting

It depends on the context and the specific implementation of the daily standup. Some teams use the daily standup as a status meeting, where team members provide updates on what they did yesterday and what they plan to do today. Other groups use the daily standup as a planning meeting, focusing on identifying and addressing any obstacles preventing the team from meeting their goals. Ultimately, the purpose and focus of the daily standup should align with the team’s goals and the agile methodology they are using.
