Mid Agile

How do you conduct an effective Daily Stand-up (Daily Scrum)?

Purpose:

The Daily Scrum is a 15-minute timeboxed event for the Development Team to inspect

progress toward the Sprint Goal and adapt the plan.

Effective format (common but not mandatory):

  • What did I do yesterday?
  • What will I do today?
  • Are there any blockers?

Best Practices:

Follow On:

  • Same time, same place daily.
  • Focus on progress toward the Sprint Goal.
  • Keep it short and to the point.

Real-World Example:

During a mobile app Sprint, a developer mentions a deployment delay due to a

configuration issue. The Scrum Master takes note and helps resolve it after the meeting —

preventing a bottleneck.
