Async Daily Standup for Distributed Teams

Running daily standups across multiple timezones can be a productivity killer. When your agile team is distributed across continents, finding a time that works for everyone often means someone is joining at 6am or 10pm. This Async Daily Standup Form gives distributed teams a better way to stay aligned without the scheduling gymnastics.

Built for product teams, engineering squads, and remote-first companies practicing agile methodologies, this template lets team members submit their standup updates whenever works for their schedule. Everyone gets visibility into what's happening across the team, blockers surface immediately, and help requests reach the right people—all without forcing your Australian developer onto a call at midnight.

The form captures the core standup questions (what you did yesterday, what you're doing today, and what's blocking you) while adding async-friendly features like help requests, priority flags, and optional context. Managers and scrum masters can review all updates in one place, spot patterns, and jump in where needed.

Paperform makes async standups actually work with conditional logic that surfaces blockers prominently, calculation fields that can track team velocity or capacity, and integrations that push updates straight into Slack, project management tools like Asana or Jira, or team dashboards. Use Stepper to automatically route urgent blockers to the right people, send daily digest emails to the whole team, or create follow-up tasks when someone requests help.

For agile teams tired of timezone-juggling or wanting to give their team more flexibility, this async standup template keeps the rhythm and transparency of daily check-ins without the synchronous overhead.
