As a basic component of agile development, daily stations will often be the most misunderstood. The fact is: Daily station itself will not make the team become agile. The purpose of daily station will not boast, nor to verify the results of the work; more than the scheduled time, the purpose of this is Sprint planning meetings. Daily station will not only be used to discuss the development of obstruction and set up meetings, because in the face of obstacles, should be the first time to seek help.
In this paper, we will discuss how to effectively address barriers and provide some from our own team of important tips and tricks. We want to make your team's daily station will (and overall agility project) to become more efficient.
What in the daily Scrum station would be?
In many sports, such as football and rugby, the team before every game played will come together to open a short meeting. This would be a strategic spot short: it allows the team members to share information during the race, mutual cooperation, cooperation. For R & D team, the daily station would like the team before the game will be short. Daily station will even often referred to as "daily scrum", and by emphasizing the "we" focus, so that each member understands the status and progress of the team.
In other words, the daily routine station will be a meeting of the core team, namely: Product Owner, developer and scrum master. Daily station will depend on the style of each team their own situation, and therefore is unique. But usually daily station will have to answer three questions:
- Yesterday what has been done?
- What to do today?
- What problems encountered in the work?
These issues reflect the current progress and highlight hinder the team encountered. In addition, let everyone share their contributions to the overall progress of the team, can strengthen the link between the team members. Daily station will emphasize let each member to share their achievements and plans to do so can everyone because the organization has contributed to the development of excitement.
Personally, in front of the station will be daily, everyone should know what they say. This can ensure that the active atmosphere of the meeting, so that each participant can concentrate. In Worktile, team members use billboards to show the current iteration of all work items, with a view to screening filter other work items, so that we can grasp the latest developments of the project.
Can help individuals fully prepared daily filtering station will have two: First, "show only my tasks";
the other is the "Sort by update." Use both filtration functions, the interface will be able to get personal tasks and issues assigned to the most recent update.

Worktile daily station will
Daily station will not form across the board. In Worktile, each team has its own unique and personalized daily station will be to ensure that each member of the team to participate and become involved. Forms are different.
Now, let us understand how to be successful and efficient conduct daily station will share some of our own experience:
1. Choose the right time - in Worktile, most of the team will be a daily stop at 9:00 am 30-10 carried out between points. This schedule gives everyone the opportunity to understand the information and update the day before the participants, but also will not require that each participant will get up early.
2. Ensure efficient daily brief stop will - in Worktile, teams are more casual way to the station will be completed daily to ensure that everyone is able to concentrate and to ensure efficiency of the meeting. Participants can let members take turns timed to ensure that everyone is wholeheartedly involved in and listen. The time will stop the daily limit (we generally completed in about 10 minutes) in 15 minutes. If the smaller size of the team, you can try a more complete short daily stand will be.

3. The station will become part of the daily Sprint Review meeting - even though the station will become a daily part of many agile culture, but that does not mean the team will not discuss the validity of the station daily review meetings. In Worktile, some team meetings every day, while others may choose to three times a week. In addition, some team will regularly discuss how to make the station a day would be better to prepare for the review conference team. If the team fails to find the value and benefits of daily station you will then need to discuss to find out why. Then make a change, because daily stand will also agile integral part!
