Tech/Engineering - Management
German term or phrase: Arbeitsbesprechung
A meeting for discussing planned works and progress, including scheduling etc.

Seemingly so simple but

works meeting

all are part of it but not quite right IMO.

Any suggestions?

Thanks to all.
Briefing is the least complicated, though I finally went with plain old "work meeting".

neutral  Courtney Sliwinski: Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't a briefing only concerned with things that have already occured, or can it also encompass future plans?

  -> also future plans
agree  Christo Metschkaroff: Arbeitsbesprechung is BRIEFING, because German bosses don't waist time for other things than WORK ;)

work status meeting


Explanation:
The daily status meeting is meant to be an opportunity for the team members to report to the team on their progress and obstacles. If the team members are reporting to the Process Facilitator (or the Product Owner, or the project manager or the executive who just happens to join the meeting) then those people are going to change what they report and how they feel about the meeting. It will no longer be as open, nor as useful to the other team members.
