The Daily Scrum is the Developers’ event, not the Scrum Master’s. The Scrum Guide states: "The
Daily Scrum is a 15-minute event for the Developers of the Scrum Team... The Scrum Master ensures
that the Developers have the meeting, but the Developers are responsible for conducting the Daily
Scrum." The Scrum Master’s role is to ensure it happens and is effective, not to attend mandatorily.
A: Documenting impediments is a support task, not a Daily Scrum requirement.
B: Facilitation is optional, only if requested.
C: Burndown charts aren’t mandated; this isn’t their purpose.
D: Correct—they ensure it occurs, not that they must be present.
Exact Extract from Scrum Guide: "The Scrum Master ensures that the Developers have the meeting,
but the Developers are responsible for conducting the Daily Scrum. The Scrum Master teaches the
Developers to keep it within the 15-minute timebox." (Section: "Daily Scrum")
Thus, D is correct.
