Correct answer: 15 minutes
Explanation
The daily Scrum is time-boxed to 15 minutes. This keeps the meeting focused and efficient. The three standard questions (What did I do yesterday? What will I do today? Any impediments?) are addressed briefly. In-depth discussions are taken offline. The strict time box prevents the daily standup from becoming a lengthy status meeting.
**Why not A:** One hour is far too long for a daily synchronization meeting. The Scrum Guide specifically time-boxes the daily Scrum to 15 minutes to keep it focused. A one-hour meeting would waste team capacity and likely devolve into detailed problem-solving discussions.
**Why not C:** Having no time limit contradicts Scrum's emphasis on time-boxing as a mechanism for focus and efficiency. Without a time limit, daily standups tend to expand into lengthy status meetings that consume valuable development time and reduce team productivity.
**Why not D:** Thirty minutes exceeds the prescribed time-box. The 15-minute limit forces the team to be concise, share only essential updates, and take deeper discussions offline. Doubling the time would undermine this discipline.
