The challenge

ClickUp's product development, site reliability and support engineering teams collaborate in Slack and are distributed by default.They were adopting scrum ceremonies and hit the problem every distributed team hits. Getting everyone into the same call at the same time for a periodic standup is inefficient at best and impossible at worst, and the context switch out of work and into a video call costs more than the meeting.They wanted the ceremonies without the calendar overhead, and they wanted them somewhere the team already was.

What they did

ClickUp chose Troopr to run scrum ceremonies asynchronously in Slack.Team members participate when it suits them rather than when the invite says. Troopr compiles the responses into a report, posts it to the Slack channel, and keeps it available in a dashboard on the web for anyone who wants the longer view.Setting up a meeting, running it, and keeping a record of what was said and what was agreed all became automatic.

The result

Technical teams at ClickUp save time by running their meetings asynchronously in Slack, and the manual work of organising them disappeared entirely.The durable win is the record. Minutes and action items are captured automatically and stay searchable, which is the part of a standup that usually evaporates the moment the call ends.
