• Stand-up-meetings usually happen daily: Meet with the team, everyone tells everyone else the answers to these 3 questions: What did I do since the last stand-up? What do I want to do today?

Don't go into discussions, note questions down and ask them after the stand-up: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stand-up_meeting#Software_development
