Tracking Active Blockers

Blockers mentioned in daily updates are automatically extracted and surfaced in the analytics dashboard. You no longer need to read every update to find out who's stuck.

Where to Find the Blockers List

The Active Blockers section appears on the analytics dashboard (Reporting → Dashboard). It shows all unresolved blockers from recent updates, organized by recency and severity.

Each blocker entry shows:

• Member name — who reported the blocker
• Team — which team they're on
• Blocker summary — the AI's condensed description of the issue
• Days active — how many consecutive updates this blocker has appeared in

How Blockers Are Identified

The AI extracts blockers from the "Blockers" section of each daily update. A blocker is included if it describes a genuine impediment — missing access, dependencies on other teams, unresolved questions, or external waiting states.

Updates that say "no blockers" do not generate blocker entries.

Multi-Day Blockers

A blocker that appears for 2 or more consecutive days is flagged as persistent. These are highlighted in the list because persistent blockers are the highest-risk items — they signal something that needs active intervention, not just monitoring.

Acting on Blockers

The blockers list is a prompt for action, not just visibility. When you see a persistent blocker:

1. Click the entry to see the full context from the member's update
2. Reach out directly via the DSM Board comment thread to offer help or escalate
3. Once the blocker is resolved, the member mentions it in their next update and it drops off the active list

Blocker Resolution

Blockers automatically drop off the active list when the member stops mentioning them in subsequent updates. There's no manual "resolve" action required — if the member doesn't bring it up again, Strova treats it as resolved.
