The Daily Scrum – Part 8
What is a Daily Scrum?
If a developer says during the daily scrum that they will finish a database module during that day’s work, then the team will expect to hear that she finished the module at the next daily scrum. It is not a meeting where a manager is taking notes regarding who is behind and who is ahead, this is a time to commit to the team the work each team member plans to get done.
If impediments are identified during the daily scrum, a conversation should be held after the meeting to find a resolution. This is where the highest value within the Scrum Master’s role can be observed. The Scrum Master’s goal is to always help the team move forward, they are just as committed to the work laid out in the sprint as everyone else on the team. If missing software, broken equipment, or anything that is impeding the work of a team member it is the Scrum Masters responsibility to make sure this impediment is removed as quickly as possible.
The daily scrum meeting should happen at the same time and place every day so it becomes a regular part of the team’s daily routine. Generally towards the beginning of the day is best but find a time where everyone can commit to being there.
