You are a Scrum Master employed by the IT department. The IT manager considers adopting Scrum for a new project. He wonders however what the value is in having all team members attend this meeting called “Daily Scrum” every day. The organization already has its employees attending so many mandatory meetings.
What are two outcomes of the Daily Scrum you inform him about, to express the importance of the Daily Scrum?
(choose the best two answers)
A. During the Daily Scrum the Developers will bring up problems that are hindering their progress, and for which they have no means to resolve. They will inform you as a Scrum Master, so you can take care of them and help the team be more productive.
B. Through the short, daily alignment of the Daily Scrum the Developers grow and improve a shared understanding of the most important work to be undertaken next, in the next 24 hours, to achieve the best possible progress toward the Sprint Goal. This daily opportunity to inspect and adapt will enable the Developers to best tackle any unforeseen circumstances that might otherwise disrupt the team’s progress.
C. The Developers will produce a status report indicating what each individual has done the past working day, and how much time that has taken. The accumulated reports will support discussing how the Sprint went at the Sprint Review meeting. It will provide detailed insights into the accuracy of estimates versus actual time spent, which can be used to create better estimates at the subsequent Sprint Planning meeting.
D. The Daily Scrum serves for the Developers to report to you, as a Scrum Master, all updates on the tasks for the Sprint, as registered in the Sprint Backlog. You can then use the Developers’ updates to plan their work for the next day, making sure that every member is assigned the right tasks.
E. During the Daily Scrum, the Developers need to update the Scrum board with their current status and progress, at a task level. This is crucial to ensure that the IT manager can go up to the room at any possible time and control the team’s actual progress.
