The correct answer is D – Make use of a Kanban board so that the team will have a clear view of the work in progress (WIP) for the release.
Agile teams use information radiators like Kanban boards to visualize work, improve flow, identify bottlenecks, and maintain team focus. Visibility of work enhances self-organization and accountability while reducing ambiguity and delays.
From the PMI Agile Practice Guide:
“Kanban boards provide visibility into the work in progress. They support collaboration, improve team focus, and are effective in both Scrum and Kanban approaches.”
(PMI Agile Practice Guide, Section 5.1 – Visual Controls)
Mike Griffiths writes:
“Visual tools such as task boards and Kanban boards allow the team to manage their flow and workload. This enables collaboration and transparency without micromanagement.”
(Mike Griffiths, PMI-ACP Exam Prep Book, Chapter 5 – Adaptive Planning)
Why the other options fall short:
A introduces unnecessary meetings, potentially disrupting flow.
B may lead to micromanagement and undermine team ownership.
C implies a command-and-control style, which is contrary to Agile principles.
Answer: D
