Developer Behavior: Daily Scrum

How can Developers 💪help💪 or 💥hurt💥 the Daily Scrum?

The goal of the Daily Scrum is to inspect progress toward the Sprint Goal and adapt the Sprint Backlog as necessary, adjusting the upcoming planned work.

I like to think of it as the Developers agreeing on how to work together towards the Sprint Goal for the next 24 hours.

Hurts:

• 💥 Play (bad) Project Manager, taking progress reports, assigning work and talking in ticket numbers.
• 💥 Holding work hostage, being vague about progress, covering up potential issues and removing the possibility for the team to help.
• 💥 Waste time by showing up late and unprepared or going super in-depth

Helps:

• 💪 Run It! Create a plan on how to work together to remove impediments, limit WIP and get things to Done.
• 💪 Focus on the Sprint Goal, and make sure the Product Owner is available
• 💪 Offer help, always. If someone has to ask, you failed them as a team.
