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.
