help organizations do scrum and related agile practices as you learned in part 3 our team has already conducted a backlog refinement meeting and a sprint planning meeting now we'll watch one of their daily scrum meetings somewhere in the middle of sprint execution i'll quiz you during the scene as usual each morning like most scrum teams wonder what we'll find in the team room this time **[0:33]:** task board may look messy to us but it's for their use not to make outsiders comfortable for the ultimate in realism and to save on production costs some of these characters are voiced by actual scrum team members all the situations in these modules are based on things i've experienced as a team member or seeing as a coach hello as your scrum master i'm here to help you with your daily scrum meeting we do this at the same time same place each day standing up for 15 minutes so what is the agenda we only have 15 minutes as a self-organizing team you're collectively responsible for collaborating with each other and this meeting can help remind you to do that to help with that there are three suggested questions what did i do yesterday what will i do today what impedes me **[1:23]:** i'll start yesterday i went to the facilities department to get better blinds for the team room windows because you guys said you couldn't see your screens on sunny days or siesta dropped by to visit sammy seagull you know that sales manager who keeps asking a couple of you for special favors to show him where his requests are on the product backlog and how to reach the product owner about moving them up i think he already knew that but he didn't realize the effects of distracting the team was so visible to everyone now that we're doing two week iterations today i'll be with you here in the team room because a couple of you said you wanted help learning test driven development my impediments today hmm sometimes i know what needs to be done but struggle with the courage to do it i'm finding it difficult to persuade the other scrum masters to contribute to the **[2:04]:** organizational impediments list we posted on the wall **[2:17]:** hi team yesterday i finished mapping the legacy database schema at least the parts that we'll need for the view grades ppi i'm not really a database expert but i got a lot of help from peter who is so now we both know it we checked each other's work so i'm going to move this task to completed i'll start on the code to read the grades from the legacy database writing tests at the same time as i've started learning i'd like to pair with andy on **[2:48]:** this **[2:53]:** tell us whether you have any impediments i was just getting to that i'm uncertain whether the automated test should go all the way to the database tables written by the legacy system or if i should just use mock objects i've got some ideas about that i'll work with you on it okay **[3:14]:** wait a minute our product owner isn't here **[3:26]:** yes today the product owner is out sharing our product vision with the ceo i thought the product owner was supposed to be at every daily scrum even though we've got other business expertise on the team the product owner is the final arbiter of requirements questions i thought the product owner was not allowed at the daily scrum we'll never know our true potential for self-organization if someone who outranks us in the company watches our every move yeah plus if we can't function for one day without the product owner the organization might delegate the role to someone with no real vision or authority just because they're less busy at least our product owner can influence the ceo would you rather have clueless clyde or myopic myron while the product owner has an explicit role in the other meetings scrum's rules allow the product owner to not attend the daily scrum **[4:17]:** are we on topic for the daily scrum no probably not this should probably be a sidebar let's keep a list of sidebar topics so whoever's interested can discuss this after the meeting **[4:39]:** yesterday i did the page layout for the view grades pbi with help from andy who checked my work today i'd like to write the related html and style sheet i'll pair program with you we're still cleaning up the mess from the last time we wrote code without pair programming **[5:02]:** my only impediment is that i wanted to show our page layout to the product owner for feedback and he's not here i'll add a task to make sure it doesn't get forgotten **[5:22]:** okay team what i did what i will do and what impedes me i spent yesterday pair programming with tim on the update grades pbi using test driven development as you all know that includes writing a few lines of failing test code then writing a few lines of product code **[5:43]:** then refactoring to improve the design without changing the behavior **[5:50]:** and then we did it again **[6:05]:** tim and i went through that cycle many times yesterday finally getting the normal use case done **[6:16]:** tim helped me find an error condition we corrupt the database if the legacy system tries to write the same record at the same time so i'm adding a new task for us to handle database contention **[6:31]:** today i'd like to keep working on this if it's okay with you guys i do have one impediment today i have to leave work early to get my dad from the airport **[6:42]:** hi team as carla said i spent most of yesterday pair programming with her on the update grades pbi as a traditional tester i'm not very familiar with programming but since carla was describing her thoughts as writing the code i found i could contribute a lot i was able to point out edge cases she wouldn't have thought of write some of the automated tests and spot messy codes so we could refactor it today i want to keep working with carla on the database contention issue with update grades as far as impediments i'm an introvert i'm still getting accustomed to the amount of interaction expected on a scrum team sometimes i need to retreat to my old office to take a break **[7:19]:** okay team yesterday i got our new continuous integration server running it reruns all the tests every time we make a code change and alerts us instantly about regression failures today i plan to plug our old tests into our new continuous integration process my impediment is that i don't understand some of the recent changes eddie made to the build file hey where is eddie anyway eddie's always late eddie's in the space-time **[7:56]:** continuum **[8:02]:** hi guys sorry i'm late again did i miss anything **[8:08]:** eddie i know you were up all night working on the build file by yourself and you probably think this speeds us up but we see product development primarily as knowledge creation not just construction when you work in isolation and then miss meetings like this one it actually slows us down in the long run let's talk about this offline in another sidebar i'll try to mediate **[8:39]:** we've got some sidebar topics here that some of you want to stay and talk about afterwards the daily scrum is **[8:52]:** over **[8:57]:** eventually you might not need me for this **[9:06]:** meeting **[9:23]:** that was just one example of a daily scrum meeting to learn more about scrum explore these links to learn a lot more about scrum try one of our classes this concludes module 4.
