What happens during Scrum's daily stand-up meetings, and what is their purpose?

Correct Answer

All team members share information: describe their progress since the last meeting, problems that have arisen, and what is planned for the following day — this means everyone knows what is going on and can replan short-term work to cope with problems

Explanation

The whole team attends daily stand-up meetings — sometimes called 'stand-up' meetings to keep them short and focused. All team members share information, describe their progress since the last meeting, problems that have arisen, and what is planned for the following day. This means everyone knows what is going on and, if problems arise, can replan short-term work. Everyone participates in short-term planning — there is no top-down direction from the Scrum master.
