Daily Stand-up Meetings

Correct Answer: Scrum Master should emphasize the importance of team members communicating updates to each other, reinforcing the self-managing nature of the team.

The correct answer focuses on the self-managing aspect of Scrum teams, which is core to Scrum values. The Daily Stand-Up is meant for team members to communicate with each other, not to report to the Scrum Master. Option 1 is incorrect because organizing a workshop, though informative, does not directly address the issue of communication during the Daily Stand-Up. Option 2 is incorrect because sending a summarized email after the Stand-Up goes against the purpose of the meeting being a real-time check-in for the team. Option 3 is incorrect because while rotating the facilitator role can encourage engagement, it doesn't directly solve the problem of team members reporting to the Scrum Master instead of to each other.

Correct Answer: Remind the team of the three questions for the Daily Stand-Up and suggest that detailed discussions be held in separate, focused meetings.

The correct answer encourages keeping the Daily Stand-Up focused and on-topic by sticking to its intended format and suggests holding separate meetings for detailed discussions, which is in line with Scrum practices. Wrong Answer 1 distracts from the purpose of the stand-up as an interactive, spoken check-in. Wrong Answer 2 introduces unnecessary negativity and does not promote a constructive or collaborative environment. Wrong Answer 3 alters the purpose of the stand-up and risks extending the meeting duration against its intended quick, sync-up format.

Correct Answer: The Scrum Master should remind the Product Owner that the Stand-Up meeting is for the Development team to synch and discuss their work.

The Stand-Up meeting in Scrum is a daily meeting designed for the Development team to plan and sync their work for the next 24 hours. The Product Owner's role in the Stand-Up, while important, is mainly to listen and understand the Development team's progress, obstacles, and plan for the day rather than update the team about the Product Backlog. This helps the Scrum team keep the meeting quick, efficient, and strictly about the work to be done. The other answers are incorrect. The Product Owner updating the team regularly would disrupt the process and extend the length of the Stand-Ups. Sending an email update could miss the interaction part which is crucial in Scrum communication. Allowing the Product Owner to speak at the end also disrupts the flow of the meeting and its main purpose.
