Hello,

Are 3 questions, suggested by scrum guide, mandatory for Daily Scrum. I am confused since these questions suggests " how" of conducting daily scrum

Thanks,

Manish,

What is critical for the Daily Scrum is providing the Development Team a daily opportunity to touch base around progress, issues, and the health of the Sprint and the Sprint Goal. It also can be useful in providing transparency to others (i.e. - Product Owner).

The Scrum Guide, and many other sources, promote the 3 questions as a way for the Development Team members to communicate to each other. I have a personal preference for "walking the board" and having the conversation centered on the sprint work instead of individual team members (too much like a status report).

Also, questions about scrum are better-suited to be asked in the other forum. This forum is mainly about Scrum.org and certifications/assessments. You run the risk of your inquiry going unaddressed when posting here.

Thanks Timothy for your response.

I understand that Scrum related questions be part of other forum but this thought question came to my mind while preparing for PSM 1 exam.

If something like this comes up

Are 3 questions mandatory to be answered by development team in Daily Scrum
A) true
B) False

If I am have understood correctly your response ,the answer should be false. Is that correct?

Thanks

The Scrum Guide doesn't say anything about answering 3 questions in the Daily Scrum. It does say that each Development Team member must explain 3 things. How the explanations are provided is up to them.
