In SCRUM, the team meets daily preferably in the morning time when a day starts and this meeting is called daily scrum. This is strictly time-boxed to 15 minutes. This keeps the discussion brisk and relevant. All team members are required to attend the meeting.

Scrum master is optional for the daily stand up.

This meeting should not be considered as a problem-solving meeting. Issues that are raised must be taken as offline right after scrum meetings with specific groups of people.

During the daily scrum each team member should answer the following 3 questions:

1. What did you do yesterday?
2. What will you do today?
3. Are there any impediments in your way?

By focusing on what each person ACCOMPLISHED yesterday and will accomplish today, the team gains an excellent UNDERSTANDING of what work has been done and what work remains. The daily scrum meeting is not a status update meeting in which a MANAGER is collecting information about who is behind schedule. Rather, it is a meeting in which team members make commitments to each other. By this meeting, the team gets an idea about where the sprint is heading towards...Behind the schedule or ahead.
