Rule #24
Reports - Do you schedule the Burndown and Stories Overview reports to be emailed to the team every day?
  v7.0 Posted at 19/10/2011 4:43 PM by cindywang
Each time you start a new sprint (aka iteration) you should have the 2 key reports (Burndown and Stories Overview) automatically sent to the team’s inbox each night. Every scrum meeting you should check the burn down report or the physical story board.

The team will get these two reports in their inboxes each evening.
