Events

Daily Scrum

Official Event

The Daily Scrum is a short event for Developers to inspect progress and adapt their plan toward the Sprint Goal.

Plain English explanation

The Daily Scrum is a quick daily checkpoint. Developers use it to inspect progress, coordinate work, and adjust their plan.

What it means

The Daily Scrum is not a reporting meeting. It is a planning moment for Developers to stay aligned on the Sprint Goal.

Why it matters

Small problems can become big problems if they stay hidden. The Daily Scrum helps reveal issues early and keeps the team moving with daily alignment.

How it works

Developers meet for 15 minutes or less. They inspect progress toward the Sprint Goal and adapt the Sprint Backlog as needed.

Key idea

The Daily Scrum is for Developers to plan their work, not for managers to collect status.

Key points

  • Time-boxed to 15 minutes
  • Owned by Developers
  • Focused on the Sprint Goal
  • Supports daily inspection and adaptation
