Content: What is happening today on the project? What is blocking the project from progressing to deployment? What are other projects with which this one is being integrated? A proxy of another core team member who attended the daily stand up can answer if needed
Product Owner provides business and domain answers for clarification of project direction
Side conversations are parked and follow-up meetings arranged
Scrum Master records all blockers and follow-up arrangements
Scrum Master lists out existing blockers and follow-ups made
VP prioritizes blockers
NOTE: Every attempt is made to resolve all blockers in the day they are raised. Representing multiple ROLES in a Core Team
A core team member might have for example, both the roles of Product Manager and Architect; or a team member may be Scrum Master and Engineering Manager. In some cases, there can be a potential conflict of interest. In the first case, this could be a person with great, wide vision for a product. In the latter, this is a coalescing of authority and responsibility.
