Escalating to the Line Manager? That's a bit heavy-handed. Let's try some team-based solutions first before bringing in the big guns.

I think B is also a good option. Sometimes involving the Line Manager can help address the issue more effectively, especially if the team member is a key figure in the organization.

Looks like the Scrum Master needs to step in and help the team member stay focused. Coaching them on the key outcomes of the Daily Scrum is a great first step.

I agree with Kerry. A timer can help keep the meeting focused and ensure everyone gets a chance to speak. Coaching the team member is also important for long-term improvement.

I think A and C are good suggestions. It's important to coach the team member and also use a timer to keep the Daily Scrum on track.
