It is not a status meeting
Dangers of a Status Meeting
End up with a project manager type role and people reporting updates. This is normally the PO or scrum master
Loses meaning - inspection and adaption becomes monitoring and being told what to do
Why do the daily Scrum?
“Daily Scrum optimizes team collaboration and performance by inspecting the work since the last Daily Scrum and forecasting upcoming Sprint work”
Scrum Guide
What is the daily Scrum For?
“The Development Team uses the Daily Scrum to inspect progress toward the Sprint Goal and to inspect how progress is trending toward completing the work in the Sprint Backlog. The Daily Scrum optimizes the probability that the Development Team will meet the Sprint Goal.”
Scrum Guide
