Okay. I'm still not seeing the problem and don't understand this comment (below):

Don't wait until the FAs arm the slides and the pits to be closed. Brief the departure well before that so you're ready when the FAs and rampers are done. When you get to that item on the checklist, you say "complete" and move on with the push.
Or do you have to actually brief the departure as you read the item on the checklist?
