A simple playbook for rolling out async standups

Start smaller than you think

Pick one squad. Explain the why in one paragraph. Keep prompts identical to your current standup so the change feels familiar.

Make completion easy

Send reminders in local time. Celebrate the first full week of participation. Do not punish missed days while the habit forms.

Close the loop

Use blockers as the proof point. When help arrives faster because something was written down, the ritual sells itself.
