In Standup, what is the Analyst's role?

• A. Lead the standup
• B. Check on development progress and be available for blockers
• C. Write acceptance criteria
• D. Create release plan

Answer: (B)

Standup is a brief daily sync where the team quickly shares what was done, what will be done, and any blockers. The Analyst’s role here is to check on development progress and be available for blockers. They track the status of analysis work tied to user stories, help ensure the team has the information needed to move forward with requirements, and step in to resolve blockers or clarify requirements when questions come up. This keeps the sprint moving and helps alignment between developers and analysts. Leading the standup is done by the facilitator (often a Scrum Master), while writing acceptance criteria or creating a release plan are activities that happen outside the daily standup, during backlog refinement or broader planning.
