2. Scrum Master:

   • Attendance: The Scrum Master is present at the Daily Scrum.
   • Facilitation: The Scrum Master facilitates the meeting, ensuring it stays focused, remains within the time-box, and helps to remove any impediments raised by the team members.

3. Product Owner:

   • Attendance: The Product Owner is invited to attend the Daily Scrum but is not mandatory.
   • Observation: The Product Owner may attend to observe and gain insights into the progress of the team, but they are not actively involved in answering the three questions.
