Frankly, I can=E2=80=99t imagine why a BOT would EVER be a good idea much l=
ess even necessary. The purpose of a Daily Scrum is for the Development Tea=
m to decide if they are going to achieve the Sprint Goal by the end of the =
Sprint. They can do this with any means they see fit, but if they can=E2=80=
=99t handle answering the optional three questions, how=E2=80=99s a BOT goi=
ng to make much difference? Beyond this, why would anyone need to produce m=
inutes from a Daily Scrum?  Finally, the Daily Scrum is best held at the sa=
me time and in the same =E2=80=9Cplace=E2=80=9D everyday. Even if held at d=
ifferent times, and thus requiring special scheduling, why couldn=E2=80=99t=
 a member of the Development Team simply take responsibility, today, for pu=
tting it on the schedule. Any Development Team that actually needed a BOT t=
o manage a Daily Scrum has many more problems than a BOT could ever be prog=
rammed to handle.
