The daily scrum can be pivotal to the success or failure of using Scrum in your organization. A 15-minute, daily touch-point to synchronize progress, it allows everyone involved to see what’s happening with the project.
Though the concept is simple, there are challenges that can impede success. A poor daily scrum can negatively affect the wider applications of Scrum, so it’s important to get it right.
