QuestionQ11

Supporting Team Events

If the gap between the arrival and departure curves on a team’s cumulative flow diagram is widening, what is likely occurring?

  • A Lead time is increasing
  • B Unplanned work is pushed into the backlog
  • C WIP is decreasing
  • D The backlog is being reprioritized
Explanation

A widening gap between the arrival and departure curves indicates increasing work in progress. When more work accumulates than is completed, items generally spend longer in the system, so lead time increases.
