About the Book

Over the course of the last few years I have written a number of articles on various agile topics that have been published my the Scrum Alliance. This led me to start my own blog and eventually publishing these posts on my own website. 

One of my most successful blog posts relates to the daily stand-up. As I observed teams and individuals begin their agile journey, I was able to identify some issues that were being encountered that meant the daily stand-up was not as fluid and successful as it could be. This led me to create an acronym that could be shared with the team in order to help them understand the reasons for and purpose of the daily stand-up. 

Now, I want to take this a step further. In this book, as well as providing details of the acronym, I will be sharing tips and tricks that will hopefully help in its successful implementation and an improvement in your daily stand-up.
