How to get started
File -> Make a copy -> Entire presentation� it with everybody on your team – make sure you �invite them as “Editor”.
Set up a 60 minute video call with your team�Get everybody on the screen using Zoom, Google Hangouts or Skype. If you want to save time, ask them to watch the video and read the guide upfront.
Share your screen with a timer�Go to bigtimer.net and use the timeboxes on the slide. (You can also use your phone if you prefer.)

How to use this template
Exercises�Go through the exercises as a team, one by one. Keep an eye on the timer, and follow the instructions on the slides. Most exercises require a silent step before sharing results.
Sticky Notes�Use the sticky notes to write things down. They are small for a reason, so try to stay within the box and keep it short and sweet.

Workspaces
Every team member has it own workspace�This gives you the opportunity to work in silence and do some deep-thinking before discussing ideas with the group.
* the idea of using workspaces comes from the Human Deluxe toolbox

Daily Standup Problems
⚡️by Workshop Wednesday
What problems are
you facing with your daily standups?
Standups take longer than 15 minutes
Choose a color and place your vote next to the stickies
We have no clear (overall) team goal
We’re solving problems in the standup instead of outside
We don’t start on time
Team members can't make it to the standup
We are speaking to one person, instead of to the whole team
We are using the standup as a status update meeting
We come in unprepared
Our standup gets disrupted by participants who are not part of the team
We repeat our impediments every day, but are not resolving them

2) What will you do today?
3) Are there any impediments in your way?
