A daily stand-up takes place every day – typically in the morning. It’s where your team leader briefs you on upcoming tasks.
As the name suggests, daily stand-up meetings should have everyone standing (if possible) to make sure the meetings stay short, direct, and on-topic. Yes, even if you are working from home.

War room meetings are used for teams to gather to discuss current projects. But don’t let the name fool you; it can still be cozy.
Team meetings are prescheduled and everyone’s briefed on the topics in advance. They improve collaboration and productivity so each project runs smoothly and on time.
Quick catch-ups are informal meetings. Actually, they’re a rare type of office meeting where “business stuff” is pushed to the side and peers can talk about something personal.
