Pick a different standup host every morning

Why rotate it

When the same person always runs standup, the meeting turns into their meeting. Rotating the host spreads the habit of keeping things short, and gives quieter teammates a regular, low-stakes turn at facilitating.

The trouble is remembering whose turn it is. A spreadsheet goes stale, and asking "who wants to run it today?" at 9:01 wastes the first minute of a fifteen-minute meeting.

Who'll Do posts the host in your standup channel a few minutes before you start. Fair mode makes sure everyone hosts once before anyone hosts twice, so nobody lands on it three days running. If the host is out, one click on "Can't, pick someone else" hands it to the next person, and on Growth and Unlimited plans anyone whose Slack status says they're on holiday is skipped automatically.

To set it up, add Who'll Do to Slack and choose the Standup host template in the welcome message it sends you. The form arrives filled in with the task, the weekdays and 9:00; pick your standup channel, adjust the time to a few minutes before the call, and save. The first host is announced the next morning.

A tip from teams who rotate hosts: keep a short pinned checklist in the channel (blockers first, then updates, then anything that needs a follow-up), so a first-time host knows exactly what to do and the meeting feels the same whoever runs it.
