Daily Scrum
When and where?
- Everyday (usually in the morning)
- Held at the same time and same place each day to reduce complexity
How long?
- 15- minute time-boxed event for the Development Team
What happens?
- Team inspects the work since the last Daily Scrum and forecasts the work that could be done before the next daily scrum
Team member explain:
- What did I do yesterday that helped the Development Team meet the Sprint Goal?
- What will I do today to help the Development Team meet the Sprint Goal?
- Do I see any impediment that prevents me or the Development Team from meeting the Sprint Goal?
- What may happen after the meeting
- Schedule Meeting After
- The Development Team or team members often meet immediately after the Daily Scrum for detailed discussions
- The Daily Scrum
- Identifies impediments to development for removal

Techniques for a successful Daily Scrum
- Creating meeting guidelines (Etiquette) that everyone agrees to
- Use Parking Lot (aka Tags)
- Everyone must walk up to the board when providing the team with information
- Whoever is speaking, selects the next person to speak
- No one speaks unless you have a “token” in hand
- Highest priority items is spoken about first
- Penalizing those who don’t follow meeting guidelines (ex. Must pay dollar)
