The Daily Meeting
The daily stand up meeting is for and about the team and its commitments. In this meeting, the team checks in on how their work is progressing in the iteration, adjusts plans and gets assistance with removing impediments.
Who will attend this meeting?:-
? Delivery team
? Product owner
? Scrum Master
? Stakeholders can observe, but are not allowed to speak
? This is not a status meeting for the product owner.
Timing:-
Every day, same time, same place, same people. This puts a regular rhythm and cadence on everyone’s calendar. The meeting lasts no more than 15 minutes.
Preparation:-
Individuals collect their achievements and impediments from the previous day.
Remember to keep the burn down chart available for reference.
Process:-
Always stand to keep the meeting short. Only the team speaks. Each team member addresses these questions in a round-robin format:
? What did I do yesterday?
? What am I committing to work on today?
? What is getting in the way of my commitments?
? What new information have I brought since yesterday?
Results:-
As a result of the daily stand up, individuals adjust their daily plans and get help removing impediments. No problem solving occurs in the daily stand up. If problem solving must occur, the team ends the stand up and starts a different meeting for this work to begin.
