Why is the Daily Scrum held at the same time and place every day?

The Daily Scrum being held at the same time and place every day serves to reduce complexity for the Scrum Team. Establishing a consistent routine helps streamline the process and minimizes decision-making fatigue regarding logistics. When team members know where and when the meeting takes place, they can prepare accordingly and focus on the discussion itself, rather than spending time organizing or finding a suitable location each day. This continuity fosters a more effective environment for communication and collaboration, allowing the team to concentrate on their goals and work progress.

Setting a regular time also helps ensure that all team members can attend without the added complexity of having to adjust their schedules daily. This consistent structure supports the team's ability to quickly align on progress, impediments, and next steps, making the Daily Scrum a valuable and efficient practice in promoting transparency and accountability within the team.
