Benefits
Nothing's more important than building relationships with your team, but that's hard to do when you're dotted across the globe.

This way, you'll be perfectly prepared when you meet, helping you work through issues, create effective plans, and have a happier team all around.
How to add this template
It's a simple 3-step process:
1. Select the Monthly 1-on-1 from the templates page
2. Include your teammates from the Participants block
3. Select a broadcast channel to post reports
✨ Auto-save drafts
As you configure your standup, Geekbot periodically saves your changes. You'll see an indicator displaying the most recent save timestamp, so you'll know exactly when your changes were secured.
This way, you can take your time perfecting the standup without worrying about losing any adjustments and avoiding sending notifications to your team.
🙏 Publish
When everything looks good, simply publish your standup. This action will alert your team to the new standup and let them know the timing of their first prompt.
Best practices
Use a duplicated standup for each team member, then broadcast each one to the same private channel to maintain confidentiality.
The pre-set questions aren't perfect for everyone, so be sure to tweak them to reflect your team's unique culture, and you'll likely get a very candid response.
