Daily Sync: Order, Timer, and Analytics

Daily standups often descend into chaos: some talk too long, others stay silent, focus drifts. Daylik makes the sync structured, fast, and transparent. When everyone sees the meeting’s structure and post-sync data — it becomes not just a conversation, but a tool for improving team performance.

Preparing for the Sync

  1. Create a team and add participants

    • You need a team and teammates for the sync. You can assign roles (developer, designer, QA) — they help organize participants during the sync, for example, to question one group first and another later.
  2. Pre-sync settings

    • Timer applied to each teammate
    • Excluding absentees
    • Adjusting the order of cards

Sync Process

During the sync, participant cards appear without names. The order of speaking can be random or set by the facilitator — depending on team style.
The facilitator may start with a short icebreaker to focus attention: questions like “What surprised you yesterday?” or “What’s on your mind this morning?” help get everyone into rhythm.
No prep required. Each participant simply says what they did, what they’ll do, and where they’re blocked.

Average sync duration in Daylik — 5 to 15 minutes, regardless of team size.

Actions for facilitator and participants:

A good sync feels like flow: short updates, clarity, minimal repetition. The facilitator isn’t a conductor but a moderator — ensuring the meeting stays a dialogue, not a monologue.

Post-Sync Analytics

After finishing, Daylik records all meeting data. Everything is stored locally and securely — no metrics are shared with third parties. This is your team’s private insight, helping to reveal what’s usually invisible in standard standups.

This transforms the sync from “a meeting for the sake of meeting” into a source of measurable insights. No other meeting tool shows who dominates, where rhythm drops, or how much time is wasted — here it’s clear.

Visual Tools

These visuals turn the sync into an object of analysis — you can refine format, order, time, and roles.

Gamification

Daylik adds a light game layer — team stats without pressure. Each participant receives a “title” after the sync:

This friendly gamification helps the team see itself clearly and laugh a bit — no scoring, just awareness and balance, perfectly aligned with Agile culture.
