Which statement about reporting in CSA Stand Ups is least accurate?

• A. Yesterday's work should include completed tasks, progress against goals, and challenges encountered.
• B. Today's plan should include planned tasks, priorities, and expected blockers.
• C. Blockers should be ignored unless escalation is needed.
• D. WIP limits help prevent overloading and improve flow.

Answer: (C)

Blockers must be surfaced and addressed during CSA Stand Ups to keep work moving and plans aligned. In this practice, reporting yesterday’s work includes what was completed, progress toward goals, and challenges encountered. Today’s plan should outline planned tasks, priorities, and any blockers you expect. WIP limits help prevent overloading and improve flow. The idea that blockers should be ignored unless escalation is needed isn’t accurate, because the stand-up is meant to surface obstacles early so the team can remove them or adjust plans. Escalation is appropriate if a blocker cannot be resolved at the team level, but blockers should be reported and addressed promptly to maintain transparency, speed, and progress.
