Also called Daily Standup, the Daily Scrum is a fifteen-minute daily team meeting to share progress, report impediments and make commitments. The Scrum Master facilitates this meeting. During the daily scrum each Team Member answers three questions:
"What have I done since the last Scrum meeting? (i.e. yesterday)"
"What will I do before the next Scrum meeting? (i.e. today)"
"What prevents me from performing my work as efficiently as possible (Impediments)?"
The Scrum Master ensures that participants call sidebar meetings for any discussions that go too far outside these constraints. The Scrum literature recommends that this meeting take place first thing in the morning, as soon as all Team Members arrive. The meeting's purpose is to ensure that questions are answered quickly, that issues are identified and addressed quickly, and to provide Team Members with a common understanding of how the Sprint is progressing.
Max. 15 minutes.
