2 ways to sustain day to day team alignment

Alignment is velocity. Two simple ways to sustain alignment are sprint huddles and daily standups.

Sprint huddles are weekly planning sessions for the next two weeks out. We define together what success, progress and momentum looks like. We identify where help, collaboration and syncing up will be most important. 

Daily standups are brief checkins to identify work in progress that needs confirmation of completion, requests and offers for help and making adjustments to the timing of responsiveness.
