Which of the following statements best expresses the role that the daily stand-up meeting plays in the monitoring of a Scrum project?

Question

Options

• AThe stand-up meeting helps the Scrum Master to update the burn-down chart.
• BThe stand-up meeting gives the team insight into their progress and their issues.
• CThe stand-up meeting lets the Product Owner review the progress of the team.

• B

• C

Explanation

Option B is correct because the daily stand-up (Daily Scrum) is a team-owned ceremony designed to give every team member shared visibility into progress, blockers, and coordination needs - it serves the team's self-management, not any single role's reporting needs.

Why A is wrong: Updating the burn-down chart is a separate activity, typically done by the Scrum Master or team outside the stand-up; the meeting itself is not a charting session.

Why C is wrong: The Product Owner may attend, but the stand-up is not a review meeting for them - that's the purpose of the Sprint Review. The stand-up exists for the Development Team to synchronize, not to report upward.

Memory tip: Think of the three classic stand-up questions (What did I do? What will I do? What's blocking me?) - all three point inward to the team, making self-insight the defining purpose.
