The Daily Standup

In the Daily Standup led by the Scrum Master, every team member briefly reports three items: what they completed since the previous meeting, what they intend to do before the next one, and any blockers they face. The event is strictly time-boxed; when work is not finished within a time-box, it is carried forward to a later time-box. Time-boxing adds discipline and predictability to Scrum initiatives that are uncertain and change frequently.

Key Points

  • What have I done since the last meeting?
  • What do I plan to do before the next meeting?
  • What impediments or obstacles (if any) am I currently facing?
  • Events and work are time-boxed; unfinished work at the end of a time-box moves to a subsequent time-box, providing structure for dynamic Scrum projects.

Example

At a 15-minute Daily Standup, a developer says: Since yesterday I completed the API tests; before tomorrow I plan to integrate authentication; I am blocked by missing test data. The Scrum Master notes the impediment and schedules a follow-up after the standup. A task that remains unfinished at the end of the sprint time-box is moved forward and re-planned in the next sprint.

PMP Example Question

What is the primary reason the Daily Standup is time-boxed while each team member answers the three standard questions?

  1. To keep the event short and focused on coordination, pushing detailed problem-solving to follow-ups.
  2. To ensure all tasks are completed within 24 hours of being started.
  3. To give the Product Owner time to reprioritize the entire backlog during the meeting.
  4. To capture detailed technical designs for upcoming work.

Correct Answer: A — Keep the standup brief and focused on coordination

Explanation: Time-boxing enforces a short, predictable meeting focused on sharing progress, plans, and impediments; deeper discussions happen outside the standup.
