Which statement is least aligned with CSA Stand Up goals?

• A. Synchronize the team and surface blockers.
• B. Deep technical design reviews during the stand-up.
• C. Align on priorities for the day.
• D. Report yesterday's progress.

Answer: (B)

Daily stand-ups are meant for quick synchronization, surfacing blockers, aligning on what to tackle today, and sharing what was completed yesterday. Deep technical design reviews during the stand-up go against its fast, time-boxed nature and turn a brief status update into a lengthy design session, which distracts from immediate blockers and daily priorities. The other statements match the purpose: synchronizing the team to surface blockers helps everyone stay coordinated; aligning on priorities for the day keeps work focused on what matters most; reporting yesterday's progress provides visibility into what has been accomplished. If a design discussion is needed, it should be scheduled separately with the relevant people and captured as a follow-up, not debated in the stand-up.
