The building-inspections Product Owner starts running Daily Scrum as a personal status meeting, asking each Developer to report to them. What should change?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Daily Scrum is the crew checking the day’s route, not a stand-up for the Product Owner’s notebook. If inspectors are reporting to the PO, the event has flipped into status theater. Let Developers inspect the Sprint Goal and adjust their own plan.
Full Explanation
Daily Scrum is an event for Developers to inspect progress toward the Sprint Goal and adapt the day’s plan. It is not a status meeting owned by the Product Owner, city manager, or inspection supervisors. The Product Owner may attend if it is useful and does not disrupt, but must not run it as personal reporting. Restoring Developer ownership of Daily Scrum protects self-management and focus on the Sprint Goal.
