Practise the standard verbs for writing async standup updates clearly.

Fill in: 'We ___ an async standup update in the team channel each morning, rather than a synchronous call nobody across time zones can actually attend.'
We 'post an update' — the standard, simple collocation for sharing an async standup message. The other options are less idiomatic here.
2 / 5
Fill in: 'Skipping the blockers section in an async update can ___ a teammate stuck for a whole day nobody actually noticed.'
We say a missing blockers section will 'leave' a teammate stuck — the standard, natural collocation for the resulting delay. The other options aren't idiomatic here.
3 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ a consistent template for async updates, rather than a free-form message nobody can actually scan quickly.'
We 'use a template' — the standard, simple collocation for structuring async standup posts. The other options are less idiomatic here.
4 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ every flagged blocker against the tracker within the day, rather than letting a written note sit unaddressed nobody's actually acted on.'
We 'follow up on a blocker' — the standard, simple collocation for acting on an issue raised in an async update. The other options are less idiomatic here.
5 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ standup participation weekly, rather than letting async updates quietly stop while nobody's actually tracking who's posting.'
We 'track participation' — the standard, simple collocation for monitoring who's keeping up with async standups. The other options aren't idiomatic here.
