In Scrum, a daily scrum is a meeting that typically takes place at the same time each day. It is a short meeting, typically lasting no more than 15 minutes, in which team members answer three questions:
1) What has he/she accomplished since the last daily Scrum meeting?
2) What is he/she going to accomplish until the next Scrum meeting?
3) What are the impediments that prevent him/her from accomplishing his/her tasks?
The purpose of the daily scrum is to keep the team informed about what each team member is working on and to identify any issues that might be preventing progress. It is also an opportunity for team members to share any information or updates that might be relevant to the team. The daily scrum is typically conducted in a group setting, and team members are encouraged to be brief and to the point in order to keep the meeting focused and productive.
To ensure that the daily scrum is productive and efficient, it is important to follow some key guidelines:
-
- Keep it short and focused – The daily scrum should last no longer than 15 minutes.
- Don’t get into details or discussions – The daily scrum is not the time for detailed discussions or problem-solving. If an issue requires more discussion, it can be taken offline or addressed in a separate meeting.
- Stand up – The daily scrum is traditionally a standing meeting, as it helps to keep it short and focused.
- Focus on progress – The daily scrum is a time for team members to share their progress, not their status. It is not a time to report on what they have done, but rather to share what they have accomplished.
By following these guidelines, the daily scrum can be an effective tool for keeping the team focused and on track, and for identifying and resolving any issues that may arise during the course of a project.
