What is a daily Scrum meeting?
A daily Scrum meeting (also known as a stand-up meeting) is a short, time-boxed meeting where members of the Scrum team gather to provide updates on what they worked on the previous day, what they plan to do today, and what (if any) impediments or issues they have encountered.
Stand-up meetings are one of the Scrum ceremonies and are a process built into Agile Scrum that encourages problem-solving, self-organization, and continuous improvement.
Daily Scrum meetings are short and typically last 15 minutes. To reduce complexity, the daily stand-up meeting is ideally held at the same time and same place every day. Some teams even hold the meeting standing up to emphasize its time sensitivity.
Ultimately, daily Scrum meetings enable teams to work through issues and constantly plan, reflect on, and synchronize activities that are in service of the sprint goal.
