What is the primary purpose of the Daily Scrum?

The primary purpose of the Daily Scrum is to synchronize activities and create a plan for the next 24 hours. This daily meeting provides an opportunity for the Development Team to assess their current progress towards the Sprint Goal, identify any impediments they may be facing, and collaboratively plan their work for the next day.

By focusing on synchronization, team members can align their efforts, share important updates with each other, and ensure that everyone is on the same page regarding what needs to be accomplished. This alignment fosters better collaboration and helps the team adapt to any changes or challenges that arise.

The Daily Scrum is not intended for formal reporting to management, setting an agenda, or evaluating past performance records. Instead, it is a time for the team to focus on immediate coordination and planning, keeping the team's efforts efficient and aligned with the goals of the Sprint.
