One of the Scrum events is the Daily Scrum. What are two intended outcomes of the Daily Scrum? (choose the best two answers)

The Daily Scrum is a key inspection and adaptation event for the Developers of the Scrum Team. Its primary purpose is to inspect progress toward the Sprint Goal and to create a plan for the next 24 hours of work. This involves improving communication and promoting quick decision-making. A critical part of this process is identifying any impediments that are blocking progress, which allows the team to address them promptly (D). The outcome of this inspection and planning is a shared understanding among the Developers of the most crucial work to tackle next, ensuring they are aligned and can make the best possible progress toward the Sprint Goal (E).

A. The Daily Scrum is a planning event for the Developers, not a status update for the Scrum Master to plan their work.

B. While the Scrum board is updated, the event's purpose is internal team alignment, not creating a transparency artifact for external stakeholders.

C. The Daily Scrum is a collaborative planning meeting for the team, not an individual status report for upper management.

"Daily Scrum" section: "The Developers can select whatever structure and techniques they want

as long as their Daily Scrum focuses on progress toward the Sprint Goal and produces an actionable plan for the next day of work." This refutes the idea that it's a status meeting for others (A
