Which statement best describes blockers handling in a CSA Stand Up?

• A. Blockers should be ignored until end of day.
• B. Flag blockers clearly, assign owners, and determine immediate actions or escalate.
• C. Blockers should be recorded but not acted upon.
• D. Blockers should be escalated only if required.

Answer: (B)

Blockers in a CSA Stand Up should be surfaced clearly, assigned to an owner, and paired with immediate actions or escalation. This approach creates visibility so the team knows what’s stopping progress, assigns responsibility so someone is accountable for moving it forward, and establishes concrete next steps or escalation paths to prevent delays from derailing the day. If a blocker is simply noted without ownership or an action plan, nothing changes and progress stalls. If blockers are ignored or only recorded without action, the issue lingers and slows the team. If escalation is used only when required, it may delay help; addressing blockers with immediate actions or escalation when needed keeps work moving efficiently.
