So far in this chapter, you have seen how the scrum team starts its day and works throughout the day. The scrum team wraps up each day with a few tasks as well. The next section shows you how to end a day within a sprint.

The End of the Day

At the end of each day, the development team reports on the progress of tasks by updating the sprint backlog with which tasks were completed and how much work, in hours, remains to be done on new tasks started. Depending on the tool that the scrum team uses for tracking progress, the sprint backlog data may automatically update the sprint burndown chart as well.

Update the sprint backlog with the amount of work remaining — not the amount of time already spent — on open tasks. The important point is how much time and effort remains, which informs the team as to whether it is on track to meet its sprint goal. If possible, avoid spending time tracking how many hours were spent working on tasks, which is less necessary with self-correcting agile models. Also, we follow the rule that it should take a development team less than one minute to update enterprise status reporting. If it’s taking longer than that, you have the wrong tool. Our free sprint backlog template mentioned earlier in the chapter can help with this. To download it, go to www.dummies.com/go/agileprojectmanagementfd3e.

The product owner should also update the task board at least at the end of the day, and move any user stories that have passed review to the Done column.

The scrum master should review the sprint backlog or task board for any risks or impediments before the next day's daily scrum.

The scrum team follows this daily cycle until the end of the sprint, when it will be time to step back, inspect, and adapt at the sprint review and the sprint retrospective meetings.
