In the daily stand-up, team members state any obstacles that are stopping them getting things done. Obstacles either exist or they don't. They are either blocking or they've been removed. Of course, it's good to know that someone is working to get an obstacle removed but while that work is ongoing the obstacle is still blocking something getting done. So don't let obstacles hang around. Make them publicly visible as soon as you become aware of them and go to work immediately to get them removed. If an obstacle can only be removed by someone else, solicit that person's help straight away and then do everything in your power to ensure that person removes the obstacle as soon as possible.
