Scrum Pattern: Daily Scrum

 

  
ContextA Development Team is within a Sprint.
ProblemHow can work be coordinated and tracked in the Development Team?
Forcestoo little/too much time between Daily Scrums
too little/too much management overhead
SolutionHave a short daily meeting to inspect and adapt.

The traditional Scrum way to inspect is to have all Development Team members report what they did yesterday and then to adapt by communication what they plan to do until the next Daily Scrum. The three classical questions are:

  1. What did I do yesterday?
  2. What will I do today?
  3. What impedes my work?

The meeting takes place at the same time and location every day and lasts 15 minutes max. This questions are just a guide to enable communication between the Development Team members.

Resulting ContextThe Development Team is ready to manage work and realize Sprint Backlog Items until the next Daily Scrum.
