Why the three questions in daily scrum?
Jeff Sutherland wrote this post discussing the three questions in the daily scrum. I’m going to steal a couple of his quips, but go read the full post.
What did you do yesterday?
This question tests the focus of the team. Anything done that was not work on the backlog is questioned.
What will you do today?
This question replaces GANTT charts. Dependencies are constantly changing.
What is blocking progress?
One of the biggest impediments to improving productivity in Scrum teams that I see in many companies is failure of the ScrumMaster to track and prioritize impediments. Management cannot help fix them if they are not clearly identified along with a recommended plan of action.
