Suppose 8 new members joined the development team, and the team size is now 15. The daily Scrum is getting noisy and exceeding the 15 minutes time-box. What is the most effective way to address this…

Question

Options

• ADivide the team into two teams with minimum dependency and have two separate daily Scrums.
• BDo nothing; allow the large team to exceed the time-box by a few minutes each meeting.
• CIncrease the time-box for the daily Scrum to 30 minutes.
• DAsk the team members to only update on the impediments and highlight only the important ones.

• A
  82% (27)
• B
  6% (2)
• C
  3% (1)
• D
  9% (3)

Explanation

Scrum recommends team sizes of 3-9 members for optimal collaboration and effectiveness. A team of 15 violates this guideline and naturally causes the Daily Scrum to exceed its 15-minute time-box. The most effective solution is to split into two smaller, self-organizing teams with minimal dependencies, each running their own Daily Scrum. Option B ignores the problem. Option C violates the Scrum time-box rule and treats the symptom, not the cause. Option D restricts the intent of the Daily Scrum, which is to synchronize work and surface impediments, not just highlight the most critical ones.
