Daily Scrums


Daily Scrums:

It improve communications, eliminate other meetings, identify and remove
impediments to development, highlight and promote quick decision-making, and improve
everyone’s level of project knowledge.

The ScrumMaster ensures that the Team has the meeting. The Team is responsible for conducting the Daily Scrum. The ScrumMaster teaches the Team to keep the Daily Scrum short by enforcing the rules and making sure that people speak briefy. The ScrumMaster also enforces the rule that chickens are not allowed to talk or in anyway interfere with the Daily Scrum.

The Daily Scrum is not a status meeting. It is not for anyone but the people transforming the
Product Backlog items into an increment (the Team). The Team has committed to a Sprint Goal,
and to these Product Backlog items. The Daily Scrum is an inspection of the progress toward
that Sprint Goal (the three questions).

Follow-on meetings usually occur to make adaptations
to the upcoming work in the Sprint. The intent is to optimize the probability that the Team will
meet its Goal. This is a key inspect and adapt meeting in the Scrum empirical process.
