Sounds like you are not doing scrum. And I only know of the term 'daily' being prt of the scrum process. So. If you're not doing scrum you are not leveraging it's potential and even more important, its rules. The rules of a daily is non-disputable. It has a formula. If you're not following the formula, it's not scrum. A daily is not about progress. It's about communication. You communicate what you did since the last daily, and what you expect to do before the next. But you're not being measured on what you communicated. You are merely sharing what you' re doing. If there is discussion in a daily, it's not a daily. If you're not using a board for the baseline for communicating, you're fucked. The role of a scrum master is to take note of what is going on and help out if she hears anything that sounds off. A good scrum master is a bit like a dictator. Focused, on top of things, helpful and listens to what is going on and does not bend to outsiders. Good scrum masters are hard to come by. That's most often imo, why scrum had a bad rep in some places. Also remember, agile is something that must happen on a top level, otherwise it will not work very well.
