What is the daily meeting for the SCRUM methodology?

When I started to study the SCRUM methodology and saw that I had such a daily meeting a few questions of the following kind popped up in my head: "Is not this meeting a waste of time?" "What the hell's the matter for you to discuss every day?"

So I went to research a bit more about what the SCRUM daily meeting is really about in various blogs and how important it is. Even the following blogs helped me write this post:

I introduced to my teammates, and we resolved to implement the diary during a phase of the project that we are tight deadline and this technique really helped us stay focused and able to deliver the software on time.

A daily meeting should last around 15 minutes, so it's not about those long meetings and they crawl for hours. The main idea of this meeting is not to solve problems, but to identify if the team is on the right track, or if any team member is in trouble, the team can signal to all those present and 'ask for help'.

The typical questions to be answered in a daily rate are as follows: "What did you do yesterday?" "What are you going to do today?" "Is there any impediment to performing your task?"

It is recommended that participants be as brief as possible in their responses. If someone faces an impediment should signal in the daily so that it can be resolved outside of it. Typical assertions to signal that you need help are:

"I'm having trouble debugging the problem with the xpto program."

"I'm having trouble learning a particular technology and would like to partner with someone."

"The VP department asked me to work on something else for a day or two."

The "Daily Scrum" is an event (meeting) whose duration is, necessarily, limited to 15 minutes. It serves so that the development team can synchronize its activities and create the planning for the next 24 hours.

This is done by inspecting the work since the last "Daily Scrum" and generating the prediction of the work that can be done until the next meeting.

The Daily Scrum is held at the same place and time every day to reduce its complexity. During the meeting, each developer explains:

• What did I do yesterday that helped the development team achieve the purpose of the sprint?
• What will I do today to help the development team achieve the sprint goal?
• Do I see any hindrance that disturbs me or is it disruptive to the development team to achieve the purpose of the sprint?

Briefly this is it. With information from this meeting both the Scrum Master and the Product Owner may or may not take action.
