The Daily Scrum – Part 11
Inputs to the Daily Stand-Up
Every stand-up meeting typically has an input of 3 questions answered by every team member. The development team must explain what they worked on the previous day, what they plan to work on today, and if they have any issues that are either currently or likely to impact progress. These questions address most of the concerns that might slow progress on the software product. By answering these questions at the beginning of each day, no problem goes more than a day without an update.
These questions apply to any role on the development team, but how do they specifically apply to developers? The question of what developers worked on yesterday typically covers what task they wrote code for. Also, developers should discuss what tasks they finished, if any. If they have an idea of how much time remains on a task, developers can give an estimate to the rest of the team. Similarly, what a developer is working on today focuses on the task. If developers believe that they might finish the task before the end of the day, they might announce what task they plan to work on next.
Perhaps more important than what developers are working on, is whether they are currently experiencing issues. These issues could be a variety of different problems. If developers come to an issue that needs to be confirmed, they may be waiting for analyst confirmation. If multiple departments are working together on a task, developers from one department might be waiting for another department to finish their part of the work. Anything that is preventing full efficiency should be announced as an issue.
