Run a 15-minute daily operations huddle that solves problems
An agenda, metrics board layout, and facilitation script for a short daily huddle that surfaces issues and assigns owners.
The prompt
Design a daily operations huddle (stand-up) for my team.
Team and operation: [e.g. "12-person dispatch team", "3 production lines with team leads"]
Who attends: [ROLES]
Format: [in person at a board / video call / mixed]
Metrics we track daily: [e.g. safety incidents, output vs. plan, on-time %, backlog, quality defects]
What goes wrong with our current huddle (if any): [e.g. "turns into a status monologue", "runs 40 minutes", "same issues every day"]
Give me:
1. A 15-minute agenda with timings, in this order: safety, yesterday vs. target, today's plan and risks, problems needing help, actions review.
2. A board or slide layout: what columns and metrics to show, and how to mark red/green against target.
3. Rules for the huddle: what belongs there vs. what gets taken offline, how to stop problem-solving in the room, and who speaks when.
4. An action log format: issue | owner | due date | status, and how to review it daily so actions don't go stale.
5. A short script I can use to open the huddle and to cut off a discussion politely.
6. How to escalate problems the team can't solve to the next level (and how to report back).
Keep it practical for a frontline team; no jargon unless I've used it.
