Daily stand-up template

A stand-up should take minutes, not half the morning. This daily stand-up template is titled with today's date and asks just three questions, so you can jot your update before the call and read it out without rambling.

The daily stand-up template as it opens in Memlow.

What’s inside

  • 3 sections: Yesterday, Today, Blockers.
  • Checklists to tick off (one item is ready; add as many as you like). Ticked items can move to the bottom.
  • Reminders on any item: each one shows up in Tasks, under Today or Upcoming.
  • Today’s date as the title, filled in when you start the note.
  • Its look: a aqua note on dotted paper, written in Lexend. Change any of it in the Style panel.

Tips for using it

  1. Carry anything still unticked under Today into the next day's note, so unfinished work never quietly disappears.
  2. Name the person or team you need next to each blocker, so it's clear who can help.
  3. Keep every stand-up in one folder; a search for a single word brings back any past update.
