What to do today?

There may be mornings when you have no idea what to do next in the project during that day. On such mornings, I got help from a SCRUM practice. One of the practices of SCRUM is daily standup meetings. 3 questions are answered by the team members during these short meetings and at the end everyone has some info about the activities of other members. Those 3 questions are:

  • What did you do yesterday?
  • What will you do today?
  • What’s in your way?

I used this practice also in my projects. When there is no specific plan or task to do, I answer these questions in order to self-plan my day. If a daily record of your progress are not kept in the project, self-motivation by answering these questions will help you not to waste time and more easily plan your daily activities.
