Standuply Reviews

Standuply is very useful

It's particularly useful for people like us who work remotely and in different periods: sharing information, making decisions. Asynchronous team meetings, it's particularly precious in our time

I also discovered (I've been using it for 2 years) the "bots" dimension that I would not have imagined as useful: it is well configured, I have not added anything yet

The Slack/Teams integration is certainly valuable, but I don't use it. On the other hand, the asynchronous (and automatic!) response collection is particularly valuable.

I recommend

Having a global remote workforce, it's extremely difficult to find times to get together and just get updates on one line of business.

My team and I have had a great experience with Standuply so far. We're using it for a general weekly team update, retro meeting, and the dev team uses the Jira integration.

One of the great features is that it's time-zone aware. We run standups at specific times based on each team member's timezone. This is ideal for our distributed team like ours.

The dev teams managed their standups with
Atlassian Jira to fit with workflow. And last
but not least thing that we love - multiple
templates. Standuply covers a great choice of
standard pre-built templates and it’s free to
customize each of them as well.

Next, we're excited to really start testing the audio and video functions more often as the text functions can get a little stale. People still crave live communication.

Overall
As a leading scrum master in a remote software
team, I would say that looked down on standup
bots and worked the old schooled way - offline.
One of the teams was asked to implement a bot in
Slack for online standups. So I decided to try
what kind of scrum-bot-thing it is.

I've checked enough standup bots and only one
I found worthy – Standuply.

Pros
I’ve run the bot, spent a little time navigating.
Now my scrum processes are just flying!
I don't trouble my head about running dailies,
everything is automated. It seems like me and
Standuply are great colleagues now.
The interface is pleasant, the functionality is
clear. What I love Standuply stands out for its
time zone and user’s local time, asynchronous daily
standup polls, automation, comprehensive
Integrations, tracking task progress, responsive
customer support, and ease of use. Strongly recommend!

Cons
Everything suits me well

Standuply is the great project management helpmate as you can run various survey apps there. As a result - the team follows all scrum practices, easily gets ahead, and Scrum Masters live happily ever after.

Previously, we used a standup bot with the same functions and a set of features, but only Standuply app provides following:
• answer reports ahead of time
• app customization (icon, name)
• caltulation of agile charts
• answer analytics and insights
• set multi-account administration
• Q/A system
• SSO via OKTA integration

I am to say that you’ll find a basic set of functions
in many standup bots. But if you want a really high-quality product for a long turn run, then keep focus on Standuply.

Overall
About two years ago, I was in my third year
running LinkedIn’s Marketing Solutions
business and I started to think
about what I could improve or delegate to
robotic systems.
To kick-start this process, I began by
implementing bots to project management
and scrum events. The result is great;
seems I’ve found the helping hand I needed.

Pros
Huge value lies into remote mode and
Integration with work tools. Slack is where
my team is. Standuply reports work completely
in Slack. As for m-now I don’t need to wake
up early for a video call, team members
respond when they get a moment during the
standup. Over time, I got used to this work
format and now I can't even imagine how I
used to overcomplicate things. Another good
point is that Standuply Deeply integrates with
tools you already use to pull activity log and
provide additional context to standups responses.

Cons
All that related to remote work is introvert
friendly. You don’t need to speak in a (virtual)
room with other people. Submit your contribution
in text confidently. I know that this is a huge
plus for someone but for me, an extrovert, it's
sometimes difficult.

We live in a world where everything has to happen in real time. Got an email? Respond to it now! Text? Same thing!

The problem with that, is that in a world where everything happens in real time it's hard to get things done as you're constantly being interrupted.

Standuply allows team members to interact asynchronously in a way that allows them to preserve their productivity.

Meetings can be a chore. Standuply helps to strip away the fluff and makes sure that you're spending your time as efficiently as possible.

Businesses shouldn't be about meetings, it should be about getting things done. Standuply helps make that possible.

I find Standuply an all in one inclusive tool that you could use to improve your team's workflow through a daily or weekly stand-up. Getting started is really easy and no credit card info required, which is so cool!!! I even got a full-on product demo after signing up which i totally appreciate. When I integrated Standuply to Microsoft Teams, I automated many scrum features my team runs.

The only issue would be the access possibilities for MS Teams. But I've been told that they are working on a solution. So hope that comes in soon.

Overall a very good tool for remote dev teams and standup management.

We are a remote team so such tools like Slack, Zoom, and Jira are our tried-and-true friends. Standuply Slack app was recommended by our partners, and we decided to implement this bot in the workflow. In general, everyone is content.

Overall
It feels good to be conscious of this scrum principle that happens to be a cornerstone in the project management field.

Pros
in the distant past when working with large projects, I used to act like this: split into simple tasks, delegated and set deadlines, but then I had to watch following - unexpected disorganization, developing in the wrong way, and of course, everyone said goodbye to deadlines. Now I see my mistake – I wasn’t aware of standups! On the advice of the CEOs other companies, I purchased a subscription to the Standuply and in a very real sense learned how to properly built project management patterns in my company. Thanks to Standuply team, they’re doing great job!

Cons
While I've been using it quite recently, I haven't found anything wrong, I'm just trying to figure out all the functionality.

Daily standups play an important role in our project management (and product development). Without these, it seems like development time drags and productivity drops. Standuply makes these standups much faster, more productive, and running smoothly. Definitely a solid investment for any dev team!
