Summary

As a distributed team, Daily.co's team faced challenges in staying connected and syncing information efficiently across time zones. They previously used a manual system of video calls and Slack pings, but discovered a new wave of tools designed for distributed teams, such as Standuply, which runs standups and reports directly in Slack. Standuply improved their standup and scrum protocol by providing a customized reporting solution that combines text updates with live video calls, allowing them to keep what worked from their previous system while stitching it together more cohesively and efficiently. By customizing meeting times, respondents, and requests, and delivering reports in a structured format, Standuply helped the team stay connected and improve their communication, analytics, and growth as a distributed group.
