Many teams use Status Hero instead of holding the traditional stand-up meeting.

Stand-ups are hard to schedule, particularly with remote teams spread across time zones. And although they are meant to be brief, the time is often spent collecting the details that Status Hero aggregates out of the box. There's also the surprisingly high cost of synchronous meetings. So many of our customers skip the stand-ups.

However, many other teams find they are still holding stand-ups (perhaps just in name only), but that the meeting is demonstrably better, more productive, and less frequent.

Why?

Because Status Hero has already captured and recorded the details, the team can use the time to focus on meaningful interactions rather than rote data collection. By using Status Hero alongside live meetings, teams improve efficiency, capture important details, and focus on meaningful discussions. Not watching each other move tickets on a Jira board.

Status Hero prompts team members to prepare for meetings and captures and records the details. So when you get together, you can focus on resolving blockers, celebrating wins, and building connections.

Plus, historical data tracking helps you see how you're performing vs. previous periods, facilitating retros and 1:1s.

Most importantly, team members have more respect for the meeting since they don't feel like their time is being wasted.

Meeting fatigue is real, especially in today's remote work environments, so everyone appreciates it when the actual meeting time is considered precious and used wisely.
