B is the answer, Thru rolling wave, downtime comprises elements which are considered as waste in product development. These elements including waiting, not using resources, overproduction etc. Rolling wave planning helps you get rid of this wasting and minimize downtime.

Selected Answer: B
A. Consistent detail: Rolling wave planning prioritizes adaptability over maintaining a consistent level of detail throughout the project, which might require explaining the trade-off between flexibility and fixed schedules. C. Concrete definition: Establishing a fixed scope, cost, and duration might be tempting to reassure senior management, but it contradicts the iterative nature of rolling wave planning, which emphasizes evolving based on new information. D. Locking down stories: Locking down stories in an agile context goes against the principle of adapting to new information and user feedback. Highlighting the benefits of ongoing prioritization and flexibility will be more effective in explaining the approach.

Option B. It prevents a wasteful build-up of requirements inventory that may never be processed. Agile practitioners use rolling wave planning to plan and manage projects. This approach is iterative and incremental, and the planning process evolves as the team learns more about the project. Rolling wave planning is beneficial because it allows the team to focus on delivering value to the customer and prevents a wasteful build-up of requirements inventory that may never be processed. Senior management may be frustrated with the lack of a detailed implementation plan that shows exactly when the project will end and when all requirements will be met. However, the Agile practitioner can explain to them that the rolling wave planning approach allows the team to prioritize work and focus on delivering the highest value items first, rather than attempting to plan everything upfront, which can lead to a build-up of requirements inventory that may never be processed.
