Standups without meetings
Replace recurring video calls with a five-minute kickoff inside Study Spaces, then jump straight into focus mode while the timer, chat, and analytics keep everyone aligned.
Step
Focus block (25–50 min)
Use Study Spaces timer presets. Chat becomes the async standup thread while everyone actually builds.
Step
Wrap (5 min)
Drop demos or Looms, celebrate wins, and mark tasks complete.
Automation cues
Keep the rhythm without calendar debt
Daily pin
Set a recurring reminder inside chat or Slack with your standup room link ready to open in one click and any campaign tags you track.
Analytics filter
Rename the room—try the Standup Lab room—so your dashboard shows attendance at a glance.
Tracks
Bundle sprints into a Track when you’re prepping for launches or OKR pushes.
Host checklist
- Pin the day’s theme or board link in chat.
- Toggle the timer to your team’s preferred block (25, 35, or 50 minutes).
- Tag each person when it’s their turn; asynchronous teammates reply later.
FAQ
How do standups work without meetings?
Run a five-minute kickoff, keep the timer rolling, and let chat capture async updates. No recurring calendar block required.
Can we record demos?
Recording is optional and host-controlled. Many teams drop quick Looms instead so the flow stays lightweight.
What if someone misses the kickoff?
Presence pills show who’s live, and you can @mention teammates in chat so they can reply later.
Does it integrate with project tools?
Use labels, exports, or webhook automations to push completion data into Linear, Jira, or Notion.
