Creating valuable daily scrum starts with understanding the purpose of why we're there.
So let's go to the source.
Let's look at the 2020 version of the Scrum Guide to see what the purposes of a daily Scum.
The purpose the daily scum is to inspect progress toward the sprint goal and adapt the Sprint Backlog as necessary, adjusting the upcoming unplanned work.
Now, that's a bit complicated and hard to remember, I know.
But let's try to break that down and distill it to the core of what it's trying to get across.
Inspect progress and adapt our plan.
That's easy to understand and it is easy remember.
Focus then on the purpose.
Why are we here?
If your teams understand the purposes of the Daily Scrum, form comes later.
In fact, the form doesn't really even matter.
If we're achieving the Purpose, that's the point.
