A public-works team runs a virtual morning standup for a sidewalk-repair program. What should stay true even when the meeting is online?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Venue changed, purpose did not. Standups stay brief so people can flag blockers before the day goes sideways. Cameras can be optional; silence on impediments cannot.
Full Explanation
A virtual morning standup for a sidewalk-repair program should still stay short and ensure blockers are spoken so coordination happens. Online delivery does not change the purpose of the ritual: quick sync and impediment visibility for civic field and office partners. Spoken blockers keep urgency and ownership clear.
Extending the standup into a two-hour redesign workshop because cameras are optional abuses the format. Skipping spoken impediments on the theory that chat can capture them later often buries blockers and weakens accountability. Replacing the standup with a monthly steering-committee presentation removes daily coordination entirely.
Exam caveat: CAPM associates should preserve standup intent across remote or hybrid settings. Medium changes; purpose should not. Deep design and steering governance need separate forums.
Operational check: keep the virtual standup to a short agenda (progress and blockers), require verbal blocker call-outs, assign owners immediately after, and schedule redesign or steering topics in dedicated meetings. Hybrid field crews especially need verbal blocker discipline because chat threads fragment across shifts. End on time so crews can demobilize or remobilize without meeting overrun eating productive sidewalk hours.
