Your Strategic Objective
Practice guiding a brief, structured standup with light nudging to improve clarity
The High-Stakes Context
It’s your turn to run standup. You’re aiming to keep it on track while helping everyone share something useful without over-policing.
You're a junior or first-time facilitator running a standup for a small, easygoing team. Everyone is generally cooperative but can be too casual or unclear in updates.
Anticipated AI Pushbacks (Curveballs)
Your counterpart is programmed to test your poise. Expect realistic objections like:
“Oh, I’m just doing the same stuff as yesterday — nothing really new.”
“Wait, what repo was that in again?”
