Who must attend the Daily Scrum? (choose the best answer)

Question

Options

• AThe Scrum Master and Product Owner.
• BThe Developers and Scrum Master.
• CThe Developers.
• DThe Developers and Product Owner.
• EThe Scrum Team.

• A
  3% (1)
• B
  3% (1)
• C
  93% (28)

Explanation

Developers (C) are the only required attendees of the Daily Scrum because it is their event - it exists specifically for them to inspect progress toward the Sprint Goal and adapt the Sprint Backlog. The Scrum Master and Product Owner are not required unless they are also actively working as Developers on the Sprint. Options A, B, and D incorrectly mandate the Scrum Master and/or Product Owner, who may attend but are not obligated to. Option E ("The Scrum Team") is too broad, as it includes the Scrum Master and Product Owner by definition.

Memory tip: Think of the Daily Scrum as the Developers' stand-up - it belongs to them. If you see any option that forces the Scrum Master or Product Owner to attend, eliminate it.
