Daily Scrum

Official Event

A 15-minute event for Developers to inspect progress toward the Sprint Goal and adapt the plan.

Plain English explanation

The Daily Scrum is a short daily meeting where the team checks progress and adjusts their plan.

Why it matters

It helps the team stay aligned and catch problems early instead of waiting too long.

How it works

Developers meet every day, discuss progress, and adjust their work to stay on track for the Sprint Goal.

Example

Each day, the team quickly discusses what they are working on and adjusts if something is blocked.

Common misunderstanding

The Daily Scrum is not a status meeting for managers. It is for the team to plan their work.

Key points

  • Time-boxed to 15 minutes
  • Focused on progress
