Write a Good Daily Standup Update
Added 2026-10-31
Three lines: done, doing, blocked — with the help needed.
I have three sentences to say at standup. I will give what I did yesterday and today's plan. Write three lines: 1) what finished yesterday with a result, not process; 2) what I will do today, two items max; 3) what is blocked and who needs to help — say none if none. Under 25 words each. No "continuing to push forward" non-information.

How to use
站会说的不是进度,是「要不要有人帮我」。
Try tweaking it
- Ask for three columns: conclusion, owner, deadline — ready to paste into a table.
- Let it organise only your notes; do not add decisions that were never made.
What you should get
- Task list with owner, deadline and blocker
- Escalations that need a decision, listed separately
Common mistakes
- Feeding raw notes and letting it fill in decisions that were never made.
- Getting owners without deadlines, so no task can be created.
How to check the output
- Every item has an owner and a date — ready to become a task.
- It does not record decisions that were never made.
Where it works
- Good for: turning verbal discussion into owner, deadline and blocker.
- Watch out: let it organise only the notes you supply — never let it infer decisions that were not made.
