Reveal correct answer
Correct answer: D
Explanation
Because the Developers are the ones doing the work, they are best suited to inspect and adapt the progress toward the Sprint Goal. At a minimum, this is done every 24 hours through the Daily Scrum. It is the Scrum Master’s responsibility to teach the Scrum team the value and objective of each Scrum event for them to optimize the benefits of each event. Because the Daily Scrum is owned by the Developers, it is up to them on how they should run it. However, the Scrum Master can provide guidance to ensure it adheres to the Scrum guidelines.Discussion
