What is the main reason for the Scrum Master to be at the Daily Scrum?

The primary reason for the Scrum Master to be present at the Daily Scrum is to ensure that the Development Team conducts the Daily Scrum effectively. The Scrum Master’s role involves supporting the team in adhering to Scrum practices, which includes facilitating their self-organization and accountability.

By ensuring that the Development Team has the opportunity to hold their Daily Scrum, the Scrum Master is fostering an environment where team members can communicate, collaborate, and address any obstacles affecting their progress toward the Sprint Goal. The Daily Scrum is a critical event for promoting transparency and adaptation, and the Scrum Master’s presence can help reinforce the importance of this event, although they do not lead the meeting or dictate its content.

This involvement allows the Scrum Master to observe and identify any potential issues that may hinder the team's effectiveness, providing guidance and support as needed, ultimately helping the team to become more self-sufficient in the Scrum framework.
