   ● Do Daily Scrum at the same time and in the same place for consistency and to
   avoid confusion.
   ● Use the Kanban board so that everyone can check the task status visually.
   ● Make it open so that the parties involved can check the status of the project,
   too.
   ● Involve people closely working with Developers such as designers and QAs.
   ● Spare time after Daily Scrum so that further discussions can be held.

   Tips for Daily Scrum 2
   ● Make the atmosphere open and helpful. Daily Scrum is not the place to blame
   others. It’s the place to help and solve.
   ● Do it daily. Daily communication is the key to software development due to its
   complex nature. Many unexpected things happen.
   ● Comment on each PBI (Product Backlog Item) so that the absentee can check
   the status as well.
   ● Although the Scrum Master and the Product Owner do not necessarily attend
   Daily Scrum according to the Scrum Guide, it’s much better for the team to
   attend for better communication.
