    Why shuffle the standup order

    When updates always go in the same order, the first speaker sets the tone and the last one gets rushed. A random order spreads that around, keeps people listening instead of rehearsing, and removes the awkward pause while everyone waits for someone to start.

    It works for more than standups: the order of demo presentations, who reviews which pull request, raffle winners, or which team goes first in a planning session.

    How the shuffle works

    The randomizer uses your browser's cryptographic random number generator (crypto.getRandomValues) and the Fisher-Yates shuffle, so every order is equally likely. Nothing is uploaded: there is no form, no account and no tracking of the names you paste, and closing the tab forgets them.

    Tips for a better standup order

    Leave out people who are on holiday before you shuffle, so the list matches who is actually in the meeting. Use "Pick one" when you only need a facilitator or note-taker, and paste the shuffled list into your meeting chat so everyone knows when their turn is coming.

    Random every day, or fair over time

    A fresh shuffle each morning can still hand the same person the first slot three days running. If you want a rotation that feels fair, Who'll Do picks inside Slack on a schedule you set and makes sure everyone goes once before anyone repeats. See how teams use it for a standup host or a retro facilitator.
