Quite often I would complete numerous daily tasks i.e. not working on anything one component in particular. Therefore, I find it quite difficult to remember these individual tasks in our next day stand up meeting. Is it ok to bring a small sticky note with a few reminder points on the previous days tasks? For example, the contents of the sticky could be:
Yesterday: ---------------- - Implemented component X - Refactored Y class - Updated Bamboo build settings - Submit test request to 3rd party harness - Read up on X API Today: ---------- - Write tests for component B - Implement component B - Document install instructions - Code review meeting Obstacles: ---------------- - Sys admin still haven't opened external port What are your views on this?
A key point of scrum is that it’s not written in stone — you should adapt it to whatever works best in your organization. However, the daily standup meeting is meant to be short, so if you bring notes, you should use them as a reference, not like a meeting agenda.
