SCRUM-meetings should be held early in the day
From my experience, SCRUM-meetings should be held early in the day so that the team gets synchronzied from the get-go. For example, at my current client, the team, on average, gets in at 08:30 in the morning. Having the daily SCRUM at 09:30 inhibits efficient work during that hour since the team has pre-concieved view-points that are based on yesterday's events. Thus, wrong decisions are made (eg. there's nothing to test, or I have to wait for event X to be able to do event Y). It seems that the best time to have the daily SCRUM, is about 10 minutes after the team gets in. That's about enough time to get in, turn on the computer, get a cup of coffee, skim through your e-mails and take up your context from the day before so that you can update your team members in a coherent way. What are your experiences in the matter?
