Effective meetings do not happen by accident, they are well planned and have good focus. There has to be a clear goal, agenda, time frame and focus. The following is a guide based on experiences of working in distributed teams.

Goal for the standup: Share status of ongoing activities providing insight on the trends from the team

Agenda:

What did I do since last time (yesterday or last time we met)?
What am I working on now?
What is holding me back(impediments and need for help)?

Meeting leader: Scrum master (if not present, then ONE person from the team)

Must do:

Ensure your tech equipment functions before the meeting starts (mic and speaker at least, we prefer video if possible. These days we should avoid video because of band width)
login 1-2 minutes before the meeting starts
Meeting must be short (do not exceed the 15 minutes)
Address topics of common interest
Talk when it is your turn, otherwise just listen
Focus: Do not dive in deep details discussing issues. This can be done after the meeting with those who are involved
All attendees must contribute to the meeting
