DELIVER Daily Stand Ups A daily stand-up is a brief, time-boxed meeting where Agile team members discuss their progress, plans for the day, and any obstacles they may encounter. The daily stand up works for one individual agile team, whereas scrum of scrums for multiple. How To Perform It is the primary role of the scrum master to facilitate and run the daily scrum meetings in an allocated physical space. The Scrum Master's role is to ensure that the daily stand-up stays focused, efficient, and on track. They help facilitate communication among team members, ensure everyone has an opportunity to speak, and enforce timeboxing to keep the meeting within its allotted time. Overview: Held within individual Agile teams, typically daily, to synchronize activities, discuss progress, and identify any impediments. Participants: Core team members including developers, testers, and Scrum Master. Focus: Each team member briefly answers three questions: What did I accomplish yesterday? What will I do today? Are there any blockers? Location: Select a dedicated physical location which is central and easily accessible for all team members to join daily (usually first thing in the morning). This location will be the same for every meeting such as a dedicated project room with whiteboards, computer/projector and key project artifacts pinned on the walls. Duration: Short and time-boxed (usually 15 minutes or less) to keep the team focused and on track. Benefits: Enhances team communication, promotes transparency, and helps to quickly address issues or roadblocks. Track Action Items: Note down any action items or follow-ups that arise during the meeting, ensuring accountability for tasks mentioned. Remove Barriers: If blockers are identified, work to remove them or escalate them to the appropriate channels for resolution.
