The correct answer is C – Explain that the Kanban board enables the team to complete the work and increases transparency on work that is not done.
Agile values transparency, visibility, and collaboration. Kanban boards are a form of information radiator—tools that openly display the team’s workflow, work-in-progress (WIP), and progress toward goals. Their visibility helps stakeholders and the team remain aligned and encourages accountability.
From the PMI Agile Practice Guide:
“Agile teams use information radiators such as Kanban boards to provide transparency and make status, bottlenecks, and priorities visible to all. This fosters trust, communication, and quick decision-making.”
(PMI Agile Practice Guide, Section 3.5 – Information Radiators)
Mike Griffiths adds:
“Visibility into progress and issues enhances communication and alignment across stakeholders. Information radiators like task boards or Kanban boards are vital tools for agile success.”
(Mike Griffiths, PMI-ACP Exam Prep Book, Chapter 5 – Agile Tools and Techniques)
Other options are inappropriate:
A and D compromise transparency and contradict agile values.
B misstates the purpose of the Kanban board—it’s not about assigning work post-completion.
