THE DAILY STAND-UP MEETING
The daily stand-up meeting is one of the key features of an Agile project. It lets everyone in the project stay abreast of one another and get an overview of the project and the product increment. The ideas and skills of the different team members converge in this quick, single meeting, and can open up opportunities that would let teams develop their products better.
Testers help make the daily stand-up meetings by providing their insights and expertise in quality assurance. This article will discuss how daily stand-ups work, and what it means for testers in an Agile project.
How a daily stand-up works
A daily stand-up is a quick meeting where developers, analysts, testers, and other members huddle together to communicate their progress and needs to one another. It is called a “stand-up” because attendees stand around as they give their inputs, which will help ensure that the meeting won’t take unnecessarily long. Usually, they would stand around the task board or the Sprint backlog, to serve as reference for the meeting. For distributed Agile teams, on the other hand, rely on video conferencing and a web application tool that will manage the backlog and tasks.
