Must all Development Team members attend the Nexus Daily Scrum?

The correct answer is that attendance at the Nexus Daily Scrum is optional for Development Team members. In the context of Scrum and Nexus, the Daily Scrum is a key event for the Scrum Team to synchronize activities and plan for the next 24 hours. However, in Nexus, which is designed to facilitate scaling Scrum across multiple teams, the focus shifts slightly. Since the Nexus Daily Scrum serves to align multiple teams working on the same product, it does not require all Development Team members to be present. Instead, it emphasizes the need for representatives from the teams to participate in order to provide updates about their progress and any dependencies between teams.

This flexibility allows teams to manage their own operational efficiency while coordinating effectively with other teams, ensuring that the event remains productive. Thus, attendance being optional supports the nature of collaborative work among teams while valuing the time and capacity of individual members.
