Exam PMI-ACP topic 1 question 51 discussion

A. Poor project quality: While high WIP can sometimes be a symptom of poor quality, it's not always the case. Reducing WIP can improve quality, but it is just one aspect of overall quality improvement. B. Team member utilization: WIP doesn't directly represent team member utilization. Even with low WIP, team members can be fully engaged in completing other tasks related to the project. D. Project behind schedule: WIP can contribute to being behind schedule, but it's not the sole reason. Reducing WIP can improve speed and delivery, but other factors like scope, dependencies, and communication also play a role.

i WOULD HAVE CHOSEN A

C = correct

Option C. In Agile, reducing the work in progress (WIP) is a key principle known as "Limiting Work in Progress" (WIP). The goal is to focus on completing a smaller number of tasks to increase the team's capacity to deliver high-quality work. By reducing WIP, the team can better manage their workload and ensure that they are delivering value to the customer. Additionally, it allows the team to identify and address any issues that arise during the project in a more timely manner. Therefore, reducing WIP represents unrealized value that can be delivered to the customer if the team focuses on completing a smaller number of tasks.

C - user stories value is unrealized until it is completed. In Lean software development, this is partially completed work and considered waste.

I would go with D. Unrealized Value has nothing to do with WIP. Please do your research and you will understand that WIP and unrealized value are totally unrelated.

I believe C is the right answer

C sure

WIP limits improve throughput and reduce the amount of work "nearly done", by forcing the team to focus on a smaller set of tasks

I choose C

D the correct answer

if every developer works on their own story means all the stories in inventory mode(unrealized value). if all the developers works on the single story at least this one story will reach the customer
