How should blockers be handled during a CSA Stand Up?

• A. Flag blockers clearly, assign owners, and determine immediate actions or escalate.
• B. Ignore blockers for now.
• C. Only discuss blockers if time allows.
• D. Remove blockers from the backlog.

Answer: (A)

Blockers in a CSA Stand Up should be surfaced immediately so the team can keep moving. The key is to flag what’s blocking progress clearly, assign a specific owner responsible for resolving it, and decide the next concrete action or escalation needed to unstick the work. This keeps momentum, accountability, and visibility intact—without letting impediments linger. Ignoring blockers, waiting for a time slot to discuss them, or removing blockers from the backlog hides problems and slows delivery, whereas clear ownership and a defined path to resolution or escalation ensures the team can keep delivering.
