🔍 FOCUS ON THE 3 QUESTIONS
‣ What did you do yesterday?
‣ What are you working on today?
‣ Do you have any roadblocks keeping you from doing your job?
🤝 KEEP THE DAILY SCRUM MEETING SHORT
The daily scrum meeting shouldn’t last longer than 15 minutes. As your team gets more skilled, you may finish in less time, don’t take longer than you need.
📅 HOLD A POST-MEETING DISCUSSION
When the team needs to discuss something more in-depth, save it after the scrum meeting. Those who need to participate in the discussion can stay.
⏰ START THE SCRUM MEETING ON TIME
Starting late sets the wrong tone for the meeting. It also makes the session last longer. Respect one another’s time by being punctual.
☎️ INCLUDE REMOTE TEAM MEMBERS
Remote team members working on the same goals should be a part of the daily scrum meeting. Meet in a room with a conference phone. Take time zones into account.
⏲️ MEET AT THE SAME TIME EACH DAY
Get your team into a regular cadence; If you choose to have the meeting early in the day, team members can determine what they’ll focus on for that day.
⚔️ NO MULTITASKING
The daily scrum meeting is held for team members to communicate. Multitasking can cause the session to last longer if someone must repeat themselves, and it’s disrespectful to your peers.
🧍‍♂️ REMAIN STANDING Standing keeps everyone focused, and the meeting runs more quickly. People are aware the meeting should be short if they don’t get comfortably seated.
📈 STRIVE FOR CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT
Conducting a daily scrum meeting takes discipline. Don’t get careless and adopt bad habits. Even if you’re doing well, there are always opportunities to improve. Regularly assess how to do better.
