### 5.2.2 The Structure of a Daily Stand-up Though the Daily stand-up is a reasonably short and simple ceremony, it is as vital as other meetings in PM2- Agile. The Daily Stand-up aims to ensure the Agile Project Core Team (A-PCT) is aligned on what is being done and what needs to be done to reach the iteration goal. Because each Agile Team Member (ATeM) must provide updates clearly and objectively, PM2-Agile suggests that each Agile Team Member (ATeM) considers the following questions: - What was I working on since the last checkpoint towards the iteration goal? - What will I be working on until the next checkpoint towards the iteration goal? - What blockers do I have that may prevent us to achieve the iteration goal? - How confident am I that we will accomplish the iteration goal? The Daily Stand-up starts spontaneously when an Agile Team Member (ATeM) takes the initiative and starts sharing. As she finishes, the next team member should follow. As information is shared, topics may emerge that require a more detailed analysis or evaluation, significantly if the iteration goal is jeopardised. In this case, the Team Coordinator (TeCo) notes which Agile Team Members (ATeM) should participate and registers them for a "meet after". After everyone has shared their information, the Team Coordinator (TeCo) reminds the participants of their “meet after” so they can make the necessary arrangements. It’s the Agile Team Members’ (ATeM) sole responsibility to organise the “meet after”, not the Team Coordinator (TeCo) [[5.2.3 Guidelines and participants]]
