Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Identify impediments to progress.
The daily stand-up in Scrum is primarily designed for the team to synchronize their work and identify any impediments that may be blocking progress. It is not a status report to management (option A), as it is a team-internal event. Option C is incorrect because the review of completed work occurs in the sprint review, not the daily stand-up. Option D is incorrect because while the team may discuss plans for the next 24 hours, the primary purpose is to inspect progress toward the sprint goal and identify impediments, not to create a detailed plan.
