Holding it in the same place and time helps consolidating this routine and allows all the participants to organize their agendas in a more structured and optimized manner. - **Prepare communication** – Though It’s a short meeting, an Agile Team Member (ATeM) should dedicate a few minutes to prepare communication properly. - **Keep everyone focused** – When a meeting is not prepared, it’s very easy to lose focus. When this happens, the Team Coordinator (TeCo) should guide the Agile Team Member (ATeM) back on-track. - **Use a Kanban board to illustrate communication** – Based on the principle that an image is worth a thousand words, every Agile Team Member (ATeM) should, whenever possible, materialize her communication using elements from the Kanban board (either physical or digital). - **Use the Parking lot to manage “pendencies”** – To make visible the “pendencies” identified during the Daily Stand-up, the Team Coordinator (TeCo) can use a pre-defined space in the Kanban board (called the “Parking Lot”). Note the name of the topic and one or two names involved on a post-it to create visibility. By the end of the Daily Stand-up, the team will see future activities and who's involved. - **Use common sense** – Although the Daily Stand-up is a specific meeting, normal common-sense rules should apply. Do not interrupt, listen carefully, be honest and transparent are some of the basic rules. ![[5.2.3 Rasci Daily Stand-up.png]]
