Walking The Board on The Daily Scrum

Move your focus towards work getting done on your Daily Standup

To me, the Daily Standup along with a Sprint Goal are fundamental Scrum practices. The Daily happens every single day of the Sprint. So we better make it worth our while.

I strongly believe in enhancing the Scrum framework with Kanban practices.

Today I would like to focus on one aspect only: how to do the Daily Scrum with Kanban philosophy? A practice that is called “Walking the board” or “Walking the wall” illustrates this mindset. And adds a lot of value to the daily meetings.

Manage the work, let people self-organize around it

Let’s take a look at the traditional Daily. Everyone gives an update. Moreover, team members who want to make a good impression, often mention everything they did, all meetings included. This kind of update is of little value for other team members. Not to mention for the Sprint Goal.
