The Daily Scrum is a 15-minute event for the Developers of the Scrum Team. The purpose of the Daily Scrum is to inspect progress toward the Sprint Goal.
Daily Scrums improve communications, identify impediments, promote quick decision-making, and consequently eliminate the need for other meetings.

Common Pitfalls
The intent of these questions is to emphasize completions of tasks, rather than effort spent. While it is common to hear “yesterday I worked on X… today I will continue working on X… everything’s fine”, this is a mistake (hilariously caricatured as the “Scrum Zombie” pattern); it is better to say “I pass”. Having a clear definition of done may help overcome this.
