# Can other people attend the Daily Scrum, and what impact might this have?

Yes, other people may attend the [Daily Scrum](https://www.thescrummaster.co.uk/glossary/daily-scrum/), but the event is not intended for them, and they should not disrupt it. The presence of others can impact the effectiveness of the [Daily Scrum](https://www.thescrummaster.co.uk/glossary/daily-scrum/) if it leads to distractions or deviations from the meeting's primary purpose.

It is crucial for the Developers to maintain control over the [Daily Scrum](https://www.thescrummaster.co.uk/glossary/daily-scrum/) to ensure it remains a focused and efficient planning session. While the presence of others, such as stakeholders or managers, can provide valuable insights, it is important that they do not interfere with the Developers' ability to conduct the meeting effectively.
