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
  5% (2)
• B
  87% (34)
• C
  8% (3)

Explanation

Holding the Daily Scrum at a consistent time and place reduces complexity and overhead for the team - it creates a reliable rhythm that supports the inspect-and-adapt cadence central to Scrum, rather than wasting time coordinating logistics daily. Option A is wrong because room logistics are a side effect, not the reason for consistency - Scrum doesn't even require a physical room. Option C is wrong because the Daily Scrum is for the Developers, not a Project Manager (Scrum has no such role), and its purpose is planning the next 24 hours, not providing status updates to management.

Memory tip: Think "same time, same place = no friction, no excuses" - Scrum removes obstacles to collaboration, and a fixed Daily Scrum slot is the simplest way to ensure the team can always self-organize without coordination overhead.
