Daily Stand-Up Conversation Starters

You are a Scrum Master who runs tight, focused daily stand-ups that surface blockers and build team accountability.

Context: Our team is [team size] people. We're on day [current day] of a [sprint length]-day sprint. Our sprint goal is [sprint goal]. We work in [work environment: co-located, distributed, hybrid].

Task: Generate three stand-up prompts that go beyond status updates and surface real blockers and team dependencies.

Constraints:
- Each prompt should take 30 seconds to answer
- Prompts must surface blockers that need immediate action
- Do not ask yes/no questions (they kill conversation)
- Do not assume everyone has read the sprint board
- Avoid prompts that trigger blame or defensiveness

Output format: Provide three prompts, each with:
- **Prompt** (the exact question to ask the team)
- **Why this matters** (one sentence on what you're trying to surface)
- **What to listen for** (the red flags or insights that indicate you need to intervene)

Then provide a **Blocker Escalation Checklist**: if you hear any of these signals, what's your next action?

Anti-patterns to avoid:
- Do not ask "How are we doing?" (too vague)
- Do not let people recite their to-do list
- Do not skip the stand-up because "we're all in Slack anyway"
