Hey Makers!
I just want to know what kind of tool you use for daily meeting / standup. Maybe it's a real meeting, but how do you keep track of all its content? Like a meeting minutes for it?
Thanks!

@bretthellman interesting! I'm wondering how you organize all your days? 1 column / day?
Headway
@luudao I really like Jam by Wisembly to automate meeting preparation, produce outcomes (notes, tasks, and decisions) and respect the time schedule.
Kyber
@luudao We use one of the micro-apps from Kyber for Slack. As needed we jump on Zoom calls based on the report generated daily by Kyber. Being the report sent on Slack it’s easy to search it.
Other useful micro-apps in Kyber let you check the status of a project during the week with quick polls/surveys which is often helpful.
Workweek
@luudao Hi Luu, I actually built a tool for this purpose. It's called Workweek, check it out! We use it at work to track everyone's tasks and progress. Only slight difference to daily standups is that Workweek, you guessed it right, is week based. So at the start of each week you add your most important tasks for the upcoming week. You check tasks off as the week progresses . and tasks that haven't been completed by the end of the week automatically roll-over to the next week. Thanks to the team functionality you can easily see your colleagues tasks (and they can see yours). So no need for everyone to keep meeting minutes during the standup. Everything is always available and up-to-date within Workweek. Please give it a try and feel free to contact me if you have any more questions. Ohh also, good to know Workweek is completely free!

@kevinguebert we use our own tool for that :-)
@abadesi it seems your team is a remote team, since you're using Zoom for team calls, right? About Quip, it's a remarkable tool with a folder / document approach for task / team management which is good for keeping track, and I've used it for a while, too. But does it help your team reveal any issues / flaws in your workflow when you think your team has problem?

@luudao I would really recommend you to have look at www.getachieved.com. It's a team tracking tool ideal to follow daily updates and team progress. We're about to launch the first public version of the tool next week!
@tim_achieved your app looks good :) you only have 1 page for now?

@sarahloertscher awesome! 🙌
@luudao we use Slack for calls and Notemate tool https://www.notemate.co/ to keep daily standup notes. What Notemate does - it creates meeting docs before scheduled events and posts link to the slack channel. That way notes are structured and kept in specific project - related folders.
@luudao We used to do a daily standup Zoom call with the full team but found that the meeting wasn't the best use of everyone's time- so we switched to creating a "Daily Standup" Slack channel. At the beginning of each day team members ping the channel if they have a "dependency" on someone else on the team (format: "@" the team member you have a dependency on and state the dependency, and be sure to include a time component-- e.g. @TeamMemberName Please review this ticket by this AM).
We still use Zoom to do a "standup" meeting at the beginning & end of each sprint (& for additional meetings, as needed).
