The Daily Scrum – Part 4
What the daily stand-up is for?
Once the daily stand-up time-box has expired and everyone has answered the three questions, the members can use their take-away from the meeting as the priority for the day. Since this meeting is not long enough for discussions, a safe option would be to hold separate follow-up meetings or huddles where anything that needs further solving and discussion can be done.
For example, if a member expressed during the stand-up that the application data currently seems to be outdated, they could work with the back-end developer after the stand-up to check and refresh the environment. Or perhaps, the tester followed up on their question on the expected behaviour of a feature, so the Product Owner and the involved developers can collaborate with the tester in clarifying this after the stand-up.
Even if there are project trackers, backlogs, and task boards available for the team to check at their own convenience, daily stand-ups are still necessary to help the project move forward. Meeting face-to-face (or through video) for a short time everyday enhances the communication of a team. The members are allowed to listen to one another, and they get to learn how they are progressing as a unit. Sometimes, drastic changes such as a pivot in directions can take surface from the daily-stand-up, and this will let the team catch on quickly.
