03_Daily Scrum Meeting - Facts & Rules

SourceAgile Project Management with Scrum by Ken Schwaber

 

Duration:

 

1.             Time-boxed to 15 minutes regardless of the number of Team members.

2.             Hold the Daily Scrum in the same place at the same time every work day.

3.             The Daily Scrum is best held first thing in the day so that the first thing Team members do on arriving at work is think of what they did the day before and what they plan to do today.

 

Attendees:

 

4.             Attendees are the Scrum Master, the Product Owner, and the Team

5.             All Team members are required to attend.

6.             If for some reason a Team member can’t attend in person, the absent member must either attend by telephone or by having another Team member report on the absent member’s status.

7.             All Team members are required to keep Up-To-Date Day-To-Day Remaining Hours For Each Task.

 

 

Stand Up Procedure

 

8.             Team members must be prompt

9.             Scrum Master starts the meeting at the appointed time, regardless of who is present. Any members who are late pay $1 to the Scrum Master immediately.

10.         The Scrum Master begins the meeting by starting with the person immediately to his or her left and proceeding counter clockwise around the room until everyone has reported.

 

11.         Each Team member should respond to three questions only:

a.       What have you done since the last Daily Scrum regarding this project?

b.       What will you do between now and the next Daily Scrum meeting regarding this project?

c.        What impedes you from performing your work as effectively as possible?

 

12.         The Scrum Master is responsible for moving the reporting along briskly/ quickly, from person to person.

13.         During the Daily Scrum, only one person talks at a time. That person is the one who is reporting his or her status. Everyone else listens. There are no side conversations.

 

 

Separate Meeting Post Stand-up:

 

14.         Team members should not digress beyond answering these three questions into issues, designs, discussion of problems, or gossip.

15.         Any discussion of interest to other Team members or needs the assistance of other Team members, separate meeting must be arranged immediately for all interested parties to get together after the Daily Scrum to set up a meeting.

 

 

Chickens In Stand Up

 

16.         Chickens are not allowed to talk, make observations, make faces, or otherwise make their presence in the Daily Scrum meeting obtrusive.

17.         Chickens are not allowed to talk with Team members after the meeting for clarification or to provide advice or instructions.

18.         If too many chickens attend the meeting, the Scrum Master can limit attendance so that the meeting can remain orderly and focused.
