If you’re involved in software development then you’re probably familiar with agile methodologies like Scrum or Kanban. This entails running daily team meetings or standups, which becomes difficult if the teams are geographically dispersed. Now with ‘Standuply’ you can have a bot run these meetings for you asynchronously within Slack.
As Standuply CEO & Co-founder Alex Kistenev comments in a statement, the bot automatically interviews all your team members in Slack & puts the results up in Trello or Slack. You train the bot once & then the bot goes about doing all the work. You can use a single Standuply account on different Slack teams & a number of people with separate Standuply accounts can run their own reports.
Standuply takes care of gathering up all your documentation requirements and motivates your team members to contribute to the meetings & makes it easy for them to access all other team members’ contributions. This bot is the company’s 3rd version of the product & is generic to multiple Agile methodologies.
Your activity is automatically tracked, so you can share metrics with your team in Slack & keep them all on the same page. If you need custom tracking capabilities you can use their custom API endpoints for Slack to better observe data in Slack.
Besides standup meetings, you can also run retrospectives & set & track goals, or track your team’s mood. 3rd party metrics can also be tracked, like from Salesforce, Google Analytics, Stripe & Trello, which can be combined in 1 single report.
You can either create your own questions for the bot to use or use one of several predefined templates that come with the bot.
Standuply is based in Siberia, Russia & has already amassed a large following from 2000+ top companies like IBM, Microsoft, Google, Adobe. Using the bot while the product is in beta stage is free.
