Daily planning meeting from David and Heidi

If you are in an intensive team work portion of the project, you will want to start the workday with a 10-minute team meeting
Cover the following:
what do we want to get out the door today?
what are the key things we need to do in order to get there?
what are the steps? who will hand off to whom? when?
what are our likely problems today?
let's make a contingency plan right now. E.g. if X doesn't send us the data by 11:30 am, stop by his office before lunch.
Or if the analysis isn't coming together by mid-afternoon, a subset of the team meets at 3:30 to refine the plan. Book the meeting room now.
