Why does the Daily Scrum need to be held at the same location and time?

Question

Options

• AThe booking of a room needs to be done in advance for the duration of the Sprint.
• BThe constant time and place is best for continuity of the Scrum framework.
• CThe Project Manager needs to get the status updates at a given time every day.

• A
  8% (3)
• B
  88% (35)
• C
  5% (2)

Explanation

Holding the Daily Scrum at a consistent time and place reduces friction and cognitive overhead for the team - it becomes a reliable rhythm that supports the inspect-and-adapt cycle at the heart of Scrum, making option B correct.

Option A is wrong because room logistics are a practical side effect, not the reason for consistency - Scrum's value comes from the team's shared cadence, not scheduling convenience.

Option C is wrong because the Daily Scrum is a planning event for the Development Team, not a status report to a Project Manager - Scrum deliberately removes that command-and-control dynamic, and there is no "Project Manager" role in Scrum.

Memory tip: Think of the Daily Scrum like a heartbeat - its value comes from its steady, predictable rhythm, not from who's listening or whether the room was pre-booked.
