A free async standup question generator.
Pick a prompt set, shuffle the order, and copy the questions into your standup channel. No signup. Rotate through six sets so your team’s daily update never becomes theater.
The three-question format that works for most teams new to async standups.
- 01What is one concrete thing you shipped yesterday? (Link the issue or PR.)
- 02Are you blocked? If yes — on what or on whom?
- 03What is the one most important thing you are shipping today?
How to use this generator
The mistake most async standups make is asking the same three questions every day. After a week, the answers become templated — everyone types the same shape whether or not the underlying reality changed. Rotating prompt sets across weeks fixes it. Use the classic set the first week your team goes async, then rotate to focus, shipping cadence, or discovery for the next cycle.
The six sets
Classic
The three-question format that works for most teams new to async standups.
Focus
Sharper prompts that force a real decision instead of a list of items.
Shipping cadence
For teams that ship daily and want to hunt down latency in the pipeline.
Discovery
For product / design teams working further from shippable code.
Onboarding
For teammates in their first 30 days — designed to surface friction fast.
End of week
Friday-only variant that doubles as a lightweight retro input.
