Complementary Practices

In which of the following situations should the Scrum Team adjust its Work in Progress (WIP) limits?

  • A When there is unplanned urgent work that emerges during the Sprint.
  • B When they see that the average story size they are working on is growing.
  • C When they have extra capacity during the Sprint and want to start some new work items from the Sprint Backlog.
  • D When they want to improve their Cycle Time, flow, and focus.
Explanation

Work-in-progress limits constrain concurrent work so the team can improve focus and the flow of work. Inspecting and adapting those limits is appropriate when improving flow and cycle time; adding more work because capacity appears available or urgent work arrives undermines the pull-system constraint rather than addressing flow.
