CAPM Practice: Demonstrate an understanding of common problem-solving tools and techniques

Standup meetings (also called daily standups or daily scrums) are characterized by being brief, regularly scheduled meetings where team members quickly share what they accomplished, what they plan to do, and any obstacles they face.

**Why not B:** Resolving conflicts between team members is a facilitation or conflict resolution activity, not the distinguishing characteristic of a standup meeting. Standups focus on sharing progress, plans, and impediments — not on mediating interpersonal conflicts.

**Why not C:** While the name "standup" comes from the practice of standing, the defining characteristic is the brief, time-boxed format for sharing progress and impediments. Standing is an optional physical practice to encourage brevity, not the meeting's main distinguishing feature.

**Why not D:** Monthly meetings to review project performance against the baseline are progress review or status meetings, not standups. Standup meetings are typically daily (or very frequent), brief, and focused on near-term progress and blockers rather than long-term performance trending.
