In the last post I discussed the Stand Up Meeting concept.  Now I want to give you an example report.

I mentioned that the four questions each person should answer were:

1. What have you done since the last meeting?
2. What will you do before the next meeting?
3. Do you need anything from anyone before the next meeting to keep you on track (are there any roadblocks that need to be cleared, help needed?)
4. Are you on track with the overall plan? (if the plan or task extends beyond one meeting)

Here is what you might hear in a report…

“Since the last meeting I completed the upgrade of 15 computers to AutoCAD 2011.  I also started investigating the licensing management software and the subscription site.

Before the next meeting I will complete another 15 upgrades to 2011.  I will also define the tasks needed to move forward with our new licensing plan.

I need someone to help me gain access to the subscription site as I do not have a login yet.

The overall upgrade plan for AutoCAD 2011 says that we will be done in three more weeks.  I think I am on plan to get that done.”

or you may hear…

“Since the last meeting I completed only 10 of the 15 upgrades to move to AutoCAD 2011.  It is taking longer than we thought.

Before the next meeting I will complete another 10 upgrades to 2011.  I will also refine the overall plan to reflect the new information and time line we uncovered that is causing the delay.

I need someone to help me if we want to maintain the existing roll-out schedule.

The overall upgrade plan for AutoCAD 2011 says that we will be done in three more weeks. I think it will take an additional week to get that done.  We will also have to push back the licensing conversion”
