Daily Scrum : how to (not) waste your productivity

No Comments

The daily scrum won’t go perfect every day. It’s an every day struggle beyond perfection. Sometimes team members, sometimes scrum master, and even product owner will screw up the meeting :

  • Some participants are late for the meeting. Yes, believe me, this can happen ! (“Give me your one dollar fine please, we’re going to have some beers at the end of the sprint !”)
  • The meeting turns into a big report to the scrum master / project manager (“Talk to other team members please”)
  • During the scrum meeting two participants (or more) discuss privately. “Hello ! Can you speak to the team please ? Football discussions can occur just after this fifteen minutes scrum”.
  • The meeting turns into a technical discussion about how to resolve an issue. “Discuss this after the meeting !”
  • As a result, the scrum meeting turns into a big and boring daily meeting trying to resolve problems.
