One of the hallmarks of highly-successful teams is that they know a lot about themselves: who is working on what, what are the current roadblocks, how happy is everyone \u2014 the list goes on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Agile teams especially bask in this knowledge, as agile practices such as daily stand-ups and retrospectives, are specifically designed to elicit useful and highly-actionable data from teammates. There\u2019s just one problem: sometimes there\u2019s too much data to keep track of. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As 87% of agile teams employ<\/a> daily stand-ups in their day-to-day operations, every day team members share new and valuable data about their tasks, progress, and struggles. A couple of days in, the number of reports becomes unmanageable \u2014 anyone barely remembers what was discussed yesterday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But what if we found a way to use this untapped well of knowledge? What if you could access all your daily stand-ups from the past and retrieve any valuable information in just a few seconds? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the Geekbot\u2019s Conversational Analytics feature<\/strong>, you can. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Problem Of Lost Team Knowledge<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Modern companies have plenty of tasks on their to-do lists, such as releasing new features, piloting new projects, and hiring new team members. To complicate things further, all that happens simultaneously and in no particular order. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kate, a marketing team lead at a rapidly growing SaaS company, knew that all too well. For weeks her team worked on a new onboarding feature, but the work was stretched over time and mixed with other tasks. It was virtually impossible now to tell who exactly did what and what was the last known progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, Kate had to manually go through hundreds of Slack messages (available also in Microsoft Teams!!) to find anything remotely related to the task. After half an hour, she gave up and decided to schedule yet another meeting and ask everyone about the onboarding in person. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sounds familiar? Unfortunately, as the company grows, it\u2019s getting increasingly hard to keep track of many things at once. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Daily stand-ups could\u2019ve helped to address this complexity, as they are designed to elicit short, to-the-point responses from team members about their progress. However, they are typically used to share only current progress \u2014 no one remembers what anyone said during the last week’s stand up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Geekbot already solved this problem by helping thousands of teams accumulate their daily stand up responses in a single Slack or Microsoft Teams channel. Instead of trying to remember what was said yesterday, last week, or a few months ago, team members can browse Geekbot\u2019s Slack\/Microsoft Teams history:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
