A daily engineering standup agenda for scrum, kanban, and platform teams in Taskade. The agent reads each engineer's git commits, ticket activity, and blockers from yesterday — drafts the standup update so the meeting is for blockers, not status.
What's Included
- Standup Board: Board view with each engineer as a column showing yesterday/today/blockers
- Activity-Pulled Updates: Auto-drafted from GitHub commits, Linear/Jira ticket activity, PR reviews
- Blocker Tracker: Open blockers with owner and age — triggers escalation if older than 24 hours
- Standup Agent: AI agent drafts each engineer's update and identifies systemic blockers
- Async Standup Mode: Fully async option where engineers post updates in Slack and the agent consolidates
- Daily Recap: Automated digest for the engineering manager with shipping cadence and blocker status
Why This Template Wins
- Status-update theater eliminated: The agent pulls activity automatically so the meeting is for blockers and judgment, not narration
- Async-first option: Distributed teams skip the synchronous meeting entirely — the agent consolidates Slack updates into a daily digest
- Blocker escalation automatic: Blockers older than 24 hours trigger escalation so problems don't quietly persist

- Clone this template into your Taskade workspace
- Customize team roster and standup mode (sync or async)

FAQ
Does this work for sync and async standups?
Yes. Sync standups use the Board view as the live agenda; async standups use the Slack integration with the agent consolidating updates into the daily recap.
Can the agent flag systemic issues?
Yes. The agent reads multi-day blocker patterns and surfaces issues recurring across engineers — useful for systemic problems needing engineering or product investment.
What plan supports a 30-engineer org?
Pro ($16/mo annual) handles the team. Business ($40/mo) adds extended audit logs.
