Analysis of this year\u2019s data<\/a> reveals the importance of\u00a0regularly conducting effective stand-up meetings. In\u00a0fact, the more frequently stand-up meetings are held,\u00a0the more likely product teams are to achieve high\u00a0performance.<\/p>\n

Stand-Up Frequency Matters and Significantly Impacts Performance<\/h2>\n

Survey respondents were asked the following question “How effective are stand-ups in your organization?”<\/em> Here is what they told us.<\/p>\n

\"Actuation<\/p>\n

When asked to share their experiences with stand-ups,\u00a0product team members clearly value well run\u00a0and regularly conducted stand-ups. Forty percent\u00a0of respondents report that regularly conducted\u00a0stand-ups are an effective cornerstone of the product\u00a0development process.<\/p>\n

These best-in-class organizations are followed by\u00a0another 41% that report stand-ups are effective, but\u00a0not conducted on a regular basis. Unfortunately 19%\u00a0of survey respondents indicate that stand-ups are\u00a0either ineffective or contentious and a waste of time.<\/p>\n

Reflecting back on findings from past studies, we\u00a0know that 20% of product teams report issues with\u00a0cross-functional hand-offs and transitions. Analysis\u00a0from the 2013 study revealed that while some hand-offs\u00a0are more problematic than others, poor hand-offs and\u00a0transitions are responsible for degradation in team\u00a0performance.<\/p>\n

Conclusion: True<\/h2>\n

The regression analysis<\/a> demonstrates that stand-up\u00a0meetings are vital to effective product team\u00a0communication and help eliminate or reduce issues\u00a0that impede high performance. It also shows that\u00a0product teams that invest the time and energy\u00a0necessary to make stand-ups both effective and part\u00a0of their daily routine will see significant performance\u00a0benefits.<\/p>\n
