Daily Scrum Quiz

Who’s required to attend the Daily Scrum?

• The Development Team members and the Scrum Master

• The whole Scrum Team

• The Development Team members

• The Development Team members and the Product Owner

Answer explanation

Anyone “can attend” any meeting.
Daily Scrum is only for the Development Team, so no one else is “required to attend”, and if they do, they are not supposed to “participate”; they just listen and watch.

Why is Daily Scrum held at the same time and same place?

• To reduce complexity and overheat

• Because the Product Owner requires it

• To make it easier to book the rooms

• Because the place can be named

Answer explanation

It’s not wise to spend some time everyday scheduling the next Daily Scrum, when the meeting itself is only 15 minutes.

We usually expect to have a common place for the team and have them collocated. The meeting will be held in the same common place, in front of the Scrum board; we don’t book a meeting room for it.

Which of the following is designed for inspection?
