Daily Scrum Meeting / Daily Standup Meeting

Daily Scrum Meeting/Standup Meeting

A maximum of 15 minutes meeting, take place on every working day at the same time in the same place with direct access to the Sprint Backlog and Sprint Burndown Chart to support the self-organization of the Scrum Team and identify impediments systematically. All members of the Scrum Team, the Scrum Master and the Scrum Product Owner need to join Daily Scrums. Other stakeholders can also join these meetings, but only as a view-only audience.

Every member of the Scrum Team answers three questions

Every member of the Scrum Team answers three questions. •Question #1: What activities have I performed since the last Daily Scrum Meeting? •Question #2: What activities am I planning to perform until the next Daily Scrum Meeting? What is my action plan? •Question #3: Did I encounter or am I expecting any impediment which may slow down or block the progress of my work?

The Scrum Master has to moderate Daily Scrum Meetings.

She needs to ensure disciplined and fast-pacing progress so that all team members can answer these three questions in at most 15 minutes.

It is very beneficial to quickly update the status of all known impediments at the very end of Daily Scrum Meetings.

The Scrum Master documents the identified impediments and its dates in a separate log, flip chart or report which is accessible to the team.

To align on decisions and solve problems, the Scrum team can organize separate on-demand basis meetings.

The goal of Daily Scrum Meetings does not include to give time-consuming decisions or solve problems. On the other hand, no issues or concerns from any Scrum Team member should be ignored or undermined due to the time constraint of the Daily Scrum Meeting. Concerns associated with specific user stories must be clearly articulated, discussed, and resolved after the meeting with the Scrum Team members related to these user stories.
