Frequency: Daily
Meeting length: 10 - 15 minutes
Scrum meetings are a part of agile meetings, or scrum ceremonies, where all team members can sync up on the work they did in the last 24 hours, and go over what’s on deck for the next 24 hours.
Is there anything preventing contributors from getting work done? Things to bring up here might be technical limitations, departmental and team dependencies, and personal limitations (like vacations booked, people out sick, etc.).
This is a quick rundown of what got done yesterday (and if anything didn’t get done, then why). This isn’t the time for each person to run down their whole to-do list – they should focus on the large chunks of work that made up their deep focus time, and the activities that are relevant to your team as a whole.
Here, each team member will say what they want to accomplish – in other words, what they can be held accountable for in tomorrow’s daily scrum meeting.
This agenda item will help the scrum master get an idea of how the team is feeling about how their day-to-day activities are impacting overall goals for the team, and how contributors are feeling about the pace of the sprint.
Being late for any meeting is disruptive, but it’s particularly distracting when the meetings are only 10 minutes long. Hold your team accountable for being on time, every time.
Giving each team member the opportunity to talk is hugely important. Reinforce this at the start of each scrum if you find that certain team members have a tendency to ramble on.
Don’t over-complicate your scrum meetings. Keep the agenda the same each time you meet, and make the technology for meeting consistent. Daily scrum meetings involve less than 10 minutes of meeting prep, max.
