Would you be surprised if I tell you that there is no event called Stand-Up or Daily Stand-Up in Scrum? You might be thinking I am crazy, everybody knows there is Daily Stand-Up.
The perfect source to validate your knowledge of Scrum is The Scrum Guide. As per Scrum Guide, the event in question is called Daily Scrum. Below is the information from Scrum Guide.
The Daily Scrum is a 15-minute time-boxed event for the Development Team. The Daily Scrum is held every day of the Sprint. At it, the Development Team plans work for the next 24 hours. This optimizes team collaboration and performance by inspecting the work since the last Daily Scrum and forecasting upcoming Sprint work. The Daily Scrum is held at the same time and place each day to reduce complexity.
The structure of the meeting is set by the Development Team and can be conducted in different ways if it focuses on progress toward the Sprint Goal. Some Development Teams will use questions, some will be more discussion based. Here is an example of what might be used:
- What did I do yesterday that helped the Development Team meet the Sprint Goal?
- What will I do today to help the Development Team meet the Sprint Goal?
- Do I see any impediment that prevents me or the Development Team from meeting the Sprint Goal?
The Development Team or team members often meet immediately after the Daily Scrum for detailed discussions, or to adapt, or re-plan, the rest of the Sprint’s work.
As Scrum Guide says that it is a 15-Minute time-boxed event, hence I assume this event has evolved to Daily Stand-up in order to finish it in 15 min as people tend to speak less when standing.
