(second week) Scrum stand-up meeting

One of the most important systems in scrum of agile processes daily standing meeting

What to know:

Question: Why not use the email report instead of the daily meeting?

e-Mail can not replace the daily meeting, e-mail will only increase the cost of communication, and can not provide details or give others the opportunity to ask questions, nor can help other members to solve the problem.

Purpose of the Standing meeting:

1. Let everyone know what other people are doing and how the current project plan is progressing

2, to help you solve the problem of the obstacles to do things, as well as sharing the commitment of these are very helpful to improve team spirit of cooperation.

Principles of the Standing meeting:

1, the subject is clear, can not be doped with other irrelevant topics

Everyone answers on 4 questions:

1) What did you do after our last meeting? (attention to detail, not overly detailed)

2) How much time is left for each of the tasks you are responsible for?

3) What are you going to do before our next meeting? (when there is a dependency on the work among the members, a good reminder is given to the other members that they set a goal for themselves)

4) is your work hindered? (after the team leader will be timely to resolve the obstacles put forward in the meeting, otherwise it will affect everyone to reflect the initiative of obstruction)

Note: If there is a problem to discuss, but only a few words to discuss, then solve at the meeting. Otherwise, it needs to be discussed in detail, put down, and arrange a separate meeting for discussion.

2, standing meeting only allow the team leader to speak, the players listen

3. Everyone stands in a circle and cannot sit around the table suggesting that it will be very short, forcing everyone to focus and put on, and avoiding people sitting to send and receive emails and other distractions.

4. Ensure that the entire team participates in daily meetings

5. The daily meeting is a team meeting, not a report meeting each participant should be aware that the team is reporting and exchanging information with each other rather than reporting to the supervisor or manager.

6. The daily meeting should be controlled within 15 minutes

7, do not put the daily standing meeting as the beginning of the day, not too early and not too late to avoid someone from the heart of the beginning of the day with this meeting linked.

8. The standing meeting shall be held at the same place at the same time every day

Summary: Scrum meeting is a platform for everyone to communicate, purposeful, solve the problem, there is a strong sense of discipline, high efficiency, very conducive to improve the cohesion of the team, to help the project quickly completed.
