Explanation
The daily standup (Daily Scrum) is a short synchronization meeting for the development team. Its purpose is to surface what each person is working on, identify integration points and dependencies, and expose blockers - raising visibility across the team so work can be coordinated and integrated smoothly. It is NOT for resolving issues (those are taken offline), reassuring the Product Owner (A/B), or reporting status upward to stakeholders (C). It is a team-to-team coordination event. The three classic questions (what did I do, what will I do, any blockers) all serve the goal of work visibility and integration.
