The other day, I set up a task board for an XP team I'm coaching. They had been using an electronic tool to track their backlog, since that is necessary for remote collaboration. They had been using the conventional format for the daily stand-up. I got the sense that people were not quite sure about the status of each story or about any blocks their teammates were experiencing. The first day they gathered around the task board, which reflected the status of the iteration as it existed in the electronic tool at the time, they immediately started to walk the board instead of following the "three questions" format. I found it interesting that this happened organically and without any prompting. They very quickly and effectively communicated the status of everything and moved cards around to reflect their individual understanding of status and issues, resulting in a more up-to-date reflection of the project than one could find in the electronic tool. They also identified blocks and took ownership of them, naturally and without any prompting.
