Step-by-step guide

6 steps

  1. 1

    Define your standup questions

    The classic three: What did I do yesterday? What am I doing today? Any blockers? Add a fourth for teams that need it: What do I need from whom?

  2. 2

    Build the standup app with Appaca

    Tell Appaca "Build an async standup tracker with daily submission forms, a team feed view, and a blockers dashboard." Appaca creates the full system.

  3. 3

    Create the submission form

    A simple form with the three standup questions, linked to the current user's profile and today's date. Submission should take under 2 minutes.

  4. 4

    Build the team feed view

    A chronological feed showing today's submissions from all team members. Anyone can read the team's updates without a meeting.

  5. 5

    Add a blockers dashboard

    A dedicated view showing only open blockers across the team. Managers can see and address blockers in one place.

  6. 6

    Track submission rates

    Add a view showing who has and hasn't submitted today. A simple participation tracker keeps the habit going.

Frequently asked questions

Can this replace daily standup meetings?

Yes. Many teams use async standups to eliminate daily meetings entirely, while keeping synchronisation. It's particularly effective for remote and distributed teams.

Can team members add blockers that need resolution?

Yes. Blockers can be flagged separately and tracked until they are resolved, with a note on who resolved them.

Can managers get a daily summary?

Yes. A daily digest view gives managers a summary of the team's updates without reading every individual submission.

Can I set a daily reminder to submit?

Yes. Appaca can send daily reminder notifications at a configured time to prompt team members to submit their standup.
