Your new colleague joins the team standup and asks: "What exactly are we supposed to say during the daily standup?" The Scrum Master replies: "We use the classic three-question format."
Which set of questions correctly describes the standard daily standup three questions?
The three standup questions focus on yesterday, today, and impediments — keeping the team aligned on progress toward the sprint goal:
| Question | Purpose |
|---|---|
| What did I complete yesterday? | Synchronise on progress toward the sprint goal |
| What will I work on today? | Signal intent; surface potential overlaps and conflicts |
| Is anything blocking my progress? | Surface impediments so the team can act quickly |
Option A uses "last week / this week" — that is a weekly status format, not a daily standup. Options C and D describe team-level metrics discussions that belong in sprint planning or retrospectives, not the 15-minute daily standup.
