Same question on ITPEC: Oct 2024 Q39
Scrum is an agile development method. In Scrum, which of the following is an event where each member of the development team talks in turn about topics such as “things I did yesterday,” “things I will do today,” and “obstacles,” and all members share the status of a project?
Explanation
Daily Scrum — the short daily event where the developers share progress, today's plan and obstacles.
The Daily Scrum is time-boxed to 15 minutes and held every day of the sprint. Traditionally each member answers three questions (what I did yesterday, what I will do today, what is blocking me), so the whole team sees the status and can adjust its plan toward the sprint goal.
Answer (a)
Why not others:
- •(b) Retrospective — held at the end of a sprint to inspect how the team worked (people, process, tools) and agree on improvements
- •(c) Sprint planning — opens a sprint: the team selects product backlog items and plans how to deliver them
- •(d) Sprint review — near the end of a sprint the team shows the completed increment to stakeholders and gathers feedback on the product
Key rule: Scrum events in order: sprint planning (start), Daily Scrum (every day), sprint review (inspect the product), retrospective (inspect the way of working).
