Answer 1

The following are the services that are appropriate for a Scrum Master in regard to the Daily Scrum:

• Ensure that all 3 questions have been answered: A 15-minute scrum consists of 3 questions for every participant which he is expected to answer in 2 to 3 minutes each.
• Facilitate in a way that ensures each team member has a chance to speak: The responsibility of the Scrum Master is to facilitate the discussion not to lead the discussion.
• Teach the Development Team to keep the Daily Scrum within the 15-minute time-box: The time limit of the scrum should be strictly followed by the Scrum Master and train the participants to keep themselves prepared accordingly.
