Frequently asked questions

What is a daily shutdown timer?

A daily shutdown timer structures work review, loose-end capture, communication closeout, tomorrow planning, and sign-off.

Is daily shutdown the same as end-of-day review?

They are related. Daily shutdown emphasizes closing loops and preparing to stop work, while end-of-day review may focus more on reflection.

Can teams share the shutdown timer?

Yes. Create an XTimer room when a team wants one shared end-of-day closeout countdown.
