Standup Meeting

Noun · Hacker Culture

Definitions

  1. A short recurring team meeting, often daily, where people share status, blockers, and immediate plans. Originally meant to be brief and coordination-focused, standups often become a cultural flashpoint when they drift into status theater.

    In plain English: A short regular team check-in about current work and blockers.

    Example: "The standup meeting worked once we stopped turning it into fifteen separate progress reports."
