Frequently asked questions
What is a question of the day for work?
One short, work-safe prompt your team answers at the start of the day - usually two sides of how work gets done, like planning on Monday versus planning on Friday. It gives everyone something easy to say in the first minute of a standup.
How do I use it with my team?
Post today’s question in the channel five minutes before the standup, or read it aloud at the start. Everyone answers A or B at the same moment, then whoever wants can defend their pick in one line. Two minutes, no preparation, nobody put on the spot.
How does the daily rotation work?
This page always lives at the same link and shows a different question from the pool every day. The pick is deterministic by date, so everyone who opens the page on the same day sees the same question. Bookmark it once and come back tomorrow.
