Misconception # 3: The purpose of the Daily Scrum is to answer the three questions.

One of the most popular formats that Developers use for the Daily Scrum involves each Developer sharing in turn what they did yesterday to help the team meet the Sprint Goal, what they will do today to help the team meet the Sprint Goal, and whether they have any impediments.  It can be a useful structure, but if the team follows it robitcally, they might miss the POINT of the Daily Scrum.  At the Daily Scrum, the Developers should be inspecting progress towards the Sprint Goal together and talking about how it's going.  This isn’t just a burn-up chart, or three questions to tick off. The Daily Scrum is a frank discussion about progress and to determine whether the team needs to adapt its plan.
