Everyone gets a turn, nobody goes first every time, and the standup ends when it should.

    Go full screen on the shared screen. Press Next speaker when someone is done.

  4. 4

    This browser keeps your Team sync. Open the page next week and it is ready. Clear starts over.

How a fair Update Round works

An Update Round is simple. Each person in turn says what they did, what is next and what is in the way. It goes wrong in two places. The same people always go first, because the order follows the seating plan or the list. And the Update Round runs long, because nobody is watching the clock.

A random order fixes the first one. When the order is drawn fresh every time, going first is luck, not a role. The quiet person at the end of the list gets the fresh room, some days, instead of the tired one.

A visible timer fixes the second. When everyone can see the seconds, running over is something the room notices together. Nobody has to interrupt. A total timebox does the same for the whole Update Round. You see early when it will not fit, so you can park the long discussion for after. How to run a daily standupgoes through the rest.

Questions

Is the standup timer free?

Yes. No account, no sign-up and no limit on how often you use it.

How is the speaking order chosen?

The timer draws it at random when you press Start, and draws again for every Run. Every order is equally likely, so nobody is stuck going first or last.

Does it remember my team?

Yes, in this browser. The names, the time per speaker, the total timebox and the name of your Team sync come back next time. Nothing leaves your device. Clear forgets it.

What happens when someone runs over?

Their timer keeps counting past zero, so the room can see by how much. A soft chime marks the moment their time is up. You can turn it off.

Can I show a countdown while people join?

Yes. Switch on Start with a countdown and pick when you start: in a few minutes, or at a set time like 09:30. The countdown goes on screen straight away, with music and a video background if you pick an ambiance. The first speaker is up at zero, or sooner when you press Start the Update Round.
