Three questions to development success - the daily scrum meeting

6/19/2015

 
Wouldn't it be great if every morning you started off asking yourself three questions:
  1. What did I accomplish yesterday?
  2. What will I do today?
  3. What obstacles are impeding my progress?

These three questions help to prepare and provide a guideline for your day. This is exactly what a Scrum or "stand-up meeting" accomplishes. These short meetings keep the development team on track to accomplish the goals agreed on during the Sprint Planning Meeting.

Usually taking place at the same time and place every working day, scrum meetings also promote closer working relationships between team members, which, in turn, creates a better product for the customer.

While there are a lot (and we mean a lot) of examples out there on how to best conduct a daily coordination meeting, the best advice we can give is to find the outline and platform that works best for you and your team. Sometimes, just a quick 15-minute meeting every morning is enough to get the juices flowing as it were for the day. Sometimes, you’ll have to pass around a token for the person speaking to hold and limit their time. And sometimes, you’ll actually need to have your team stand. Use whatever works for you just as long as you follow the three questions of the meeting:

  1. What did I accomplish yesterday?
  2. What will I do today?
  3. What obstacles are impeding my progress?​
