Scrum Events: Daily Scrum


The purpose of the Daily Scrum is to inspect progress toward the Sprint Goal and adapt the Sprint Backlog as necessary, adjusting the upcoming planned work.

The Daily Scrum is a 15-minute event for the Developers of the Scrum Team. To reduce complexity, it is held at the same time and place every working day of the Sprint. If the Product Owner or Scrum Master are actively working on items in the Sprint Backlog, they participate as Developers.

The Developers can select whatever structure and techniques they want, as long as their Daily Scrum focuses on progress toward the Sprint Goal and produces an actionable plan for the next day of work. This creates focus and improves self-management.

Daily Scrums improve communications, identify impediments, promote quick decision-making, and consequently eliminate the need for other meetings.

The Daily Scrum is not the only time Developers are allowed to adjust their plan. They often meet throughout the day for more detailed discussions about adapting or re-planning the rest of the Sprint’s work.



By Scrum Guide


This is a meeting for transparency, inspection, and adaptation.
Let’s first remember that a Scrum Master is not a participant. So he or she does not need to be at those meetings every day. However, at first, when the team is new. 

The SM should facilitate those daily scrums in a matter of coaching the team members. After the SM sees that the team is mature enough to facilitate their own daily scrum. He or she needs to make sure that the daily is happening and timeboxed. So to facilitate one, we need first to create the meeting on everyone’s calendar.
 
   1. Open your organization calendar
   2. Create a daily meeting at the same time for 30-45 minutes. Even if the daily is just 15 minutes. You need to allocate extra time for discussions      
3. When you get into those meetings, there is no agenda, no intro nothing. 
Just say someone’s name to start their daily standup. 
The Scrum Master might share the screen of the Jira board if necessary. 
And then name one after another until everyone has participated. 
Now it may look like you are micromanaging them, but this way of doing it should only be in their first week, then they should be able to facilitate their daily themselves.
 
   4. Once everyone has finished, you say here that the daily is over. Then you ask them if they have any questions to the product owner or to start engaging in a discussion about their impediments or anything preventing them to continue their work.
