QuestionQ29

Delivery

A team using Kanban finds that its cycle time varies significantly. After brainstorming, the team concludes that the root cause is the stories’ differing sizes and risks.

What should the team do?

  • A Reduce work in progress (WIP) limits to accommodate slack for riskier stories
  • B Create a triage step on the Kanban board to pre-identify risky stories
  • C Set a policy to break down stories larger than a specified complexity, then adjust the WIP
  • D Create a dedicated overflow swim lane on the Kanban board for stories that are too large
Explanation

Kanban flow becomes more predictable when work items are kept to a consistent, manageable size. A policy to split stories exceeding a defined complexity reduces variability caused by oversized or risky work; WIP limits can then be adjusted to support the resulting flow.
