A project team is using an Agile approach for developing a new mobile application. During daily stand-up meetings, team members briefly discuss what they did yesterday, what they will do today, and any impediments. Which Agile methodology does this practice most closely align with?
- AKanban
- BExtreme Programming (XP)
- CLean
- DScrum
Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: D. Scrum
Daily stand-up meetings, also known as Daily Scrums, are a core practice within the Scrum framework. Team members answer three key questions: What did I do yesterday? What will I do today? Are there any impediments?
Why the other options are wrong
- A. Kanban focuses on visualizing workflow and limiting work in progress, not daily stand-ups with these specific questions.
- B. Extreme Programming (XP) has daily stand-ups but is characterized by practices like pair programming and test-driven development, which are not mentioned as the primary focus here.
- C. Lean is a philosophy focused on eliminating waste, not a specific methodology with daily stand-ups.
Daily Scrum
A 15-minute time-boxed event for the Development Team to synchronize activities and create a plan for the next 24 hours.
- Held at the same time and place each day.
- Attended by the Development Team.
- Focuses on progress toward the Sprint Goal and impediments.
Memory trick: Scrum's daily sprint check-in keeps everyone in sync.
