Daily Standup Template
This template keeps standups short and searchable, with one tight section per person for yesterday, today and blockers, which makes it a practical home for ai meeting notes for standups that teams actually read. Use it for daily Scrum and Kanban standups where speed matters and the note should be ready the moment the call ends.

How to use this template, step by step
- 1
Start the template as the standup begins
Standups are short, often ten to fifteen minutes, so have the template open and recording before the first person speaks.
- 2
Keep each update to the three questions
The structure nudges everyone toward yesterday, today and blockers, which keeps the meeting from drifting into problem-solving.
- 3
Flag blockers clearly
After the call, check the blockers section. A blocker without a named helper tends to still be a blocker tomorrow.
- 4
Take long topics offline
If a discussion needs more time, note it as a follow-up item for a smaller group instead of letting it stretch the standup.
- 5
Post the note in your team channel
Share the finished note where the team already works, so people who missed the standup can catch up in under a minute.
Frequently asked questions
Very short. One or two lines per person for each of the three questions, plus blockers and actions. If the note takes longer to read than the standup took to run, it is too long.
Yes. Teammates can record or submit short updates and the same structure applies, which is useful across time zones.
Escalate it. If the same blocker appears three days in a row, it needs a manager or a different team involved, not another day of reporting it.
