Management external to the Scrum team plays a subtle yet crucial role in the Daily Scrum process. Here’s how they get involved:
- Observation: External managers often observe the Daily Scrum to understand progress and any impediments.
- Feedback: They provide feedback based on observations to ensure alignment with broader organizational goals.
- Support: By identifying issues during their observations, they can offer resources or remove impediments that the team faces.
- Communication: They act as a liaison between the Scrum team and other departments, ensuring seamless communication.
