How is management external to the Scrum Team involved in the Daily Scrum? (Choose the best Answer)

The Daily Scrum is a 15-minute event for the Developers of the Scrum Team. Its purpose is to inspect progress toward the Sprint Goal and adapt the Sprint Backlog. Management external to the Scrum Team is not required to attend. If others are present, the Scrum Master ensures they do not disrupt the meeting, which is an internal planning event for the Developers. Their role is that of an observer, and their participation is not part of the event's design.

A. The Scrum Master is a facilitator for the Developers, not a representative or spokesperson for external management.
C. The Daily Scrum is a planning session for Developers, not a status report meeting for management to receive updates.
D. The Product Owner represents stakeholders' interests in the Product Backlog, not management's opinions during the Daily Scrum.
