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.

• A
  3% (1)
• B
  95% (35)
• C
  3% (1)

Explanation

Option B is correct because the daily stand-up (also called the Daily Scrum) is a 15-minute team-owned event designed to help the development team inspect progress toward the Sprint Goal and identify blockers - giving everyone shared visibility into what's done, what's next, and what's in the way.

Option A is wrong because updating the burn-down chart is a separate artifact-maintenance activity; the stand-up is not a reporting mechanism for the Scrum Master - it's a synchronization event for the team. Option C is wrong because the Product Owner is not the primary audience; the stand-up is a developer-to-developer sync, not a progress review for stakeholders (the Sprint Review serves that purpose).

Memory tip: Think of the three classic stand-up questions - What did I do yesterday? What will I do today? What's blocking me? - all three are answered by and for the team, which points directly to B: team insight into progress and issues.
