The purpose of the stand will be a day
Before the station will introduce how open daily, let us first look at what is the purpose and significance of the station held a meeting every day is? Agile Manifesto emphasis on the individual interactions over processes and tools, agile principles expounded face to face communication and self-organizing teams of these core ideas agile. Scrum team is a self-organizing teams, daily team every day will stand face to face is the embodiment of team communication and team self-organization. Scrum is the theoretical basis by maintaining the transparency of the process for everyone involved in the process to understand the real situation, then check and adjust, daily Scrum process station will be part of the daily inspection and adjustment.
Daily station will be his team will
- Team decided to discuss who does what (can not have a leadership task assignment), a plan for the day row
- Team communication status, understand the current situation, identify the barriers
- Recalling yesterday's team work, make adjustments, continuous improvement
When, in what place will be open daily station?
Scrum defines some basic rules of conduct daily station will. Daily station will be, held the same place every day at the same time, the best way is to be held in front of the team's visual task board. Sprint board can see the current task burndown (Burn Down Chart) Sprint and the status of each task.
Before the station will start daily, the team needs the state board in the task update task. The advantage is that at the meeting, everyone can see the current progress.
Station daily Scrum team will be the first thing every day, so you can let everyone in on a clear understanding of each day beginning his day's schedule. For cross-border team, there is a time difference of circumstances, it can be adjusted according to actual situation.
Daily discipline will stand
Meeting time up to 15 minutes. All team members arrived at the scene on time conscious, because a short meeting, held on time and end on time is very important. Teams need to establish protocols to ensure that their work team members time to attend and observe discipline will stand, for example, the team can talk to people so that they have some late improvement measures, such as proper to some of the fines, determined by how much the team, these govern how money is also decided by the team, or do push-ups, hang a late sign and so on.
Daily station will have to stand on, everyone should concentrate, can not have a lazy performance.
Everyone answer three questions:
Yesterday I finished what tasks?
I intend to do what the task today?
What I encountered obstacles or difficulties?
At the same time only one person to speak at the meeting and said that only three questions related to the topic, any off-topic discussions need to be stopped ScrumMaster. Indeed some of the issues to be discussed, you can record, as a topic for discussion after the meeting.
Why daily station will have no effect?
Daily and traditional station will have a different project meetings the following points:
1. There will not ScrumMaster or any other person assigned to the task.
2. Team members not to report the situation to the ScrumMaster, daily station will be his team will be.
3. Team members will not discuss or resolve issues at the meeting, it will record the issue, find the relevant person or after the meeting held to discuss specific discussion meeting.
4. people outside the team may speak or interfere with any meeting.
The most basic principles of Scrum is "Inspect and Adapt" (View then adapt), if anything done well, ask yourself why, and then look for ways to upgrade.
If the daily station will have no effect, check the rules: You are not serious will be open daily station every day? If not why? If you change some of the basic rules of Scrum, you may face some risks, because these rules are to undergo some general rules temper and test projects. So the first step, before you can do in a manner on the books.
If that was not enough, refer to other people's experiences, such as: Martin Fowler's "Patterns of Daily Stand-up Meetings"
How do you know that daily station will play a very good effect?
A good daily station will have the following characteristics:
1. ScrumMaster not ask each person one by one question, and if so, this conference has become the meeting.
2. Team members communicate with each other, instead of reporting to the ScrumMaster.
3. Daily station will be completed in less than 15 minutes. If you abide by the rules and meet the right way, you do not need to worry about overtime.
4. After the station will, ScrumMaster know what issues need to help team members solve.
A self-organizing team has a daily rhythm very clear: before the Daily Scrum very quiet, then there will be a daily stop will be a lively discussion, the hour before a meal in the slowly quiet down. After lunch there will be a discussion of additional active phase, when before work slowly quiet down. This is a self-organizing teams of pulses. If you can feel the rhythm, then the team is very healthy, daily station will play a very good effect.
