In Kanban, limiting work in progress (WIP) is a key practice to improve task flow and reduce bottlenecks. By restricting the number of tasks that can be worked on at any given time, the team is forced to focus on completing the tasks that are already in progress before taking on new ones. This helps reduce the accumulation of tasks in the " In Progress " column, ensures that tasks move through the workflow more efficiently, and ultimately helps to meet project timelines more effectively. It also promotes better quality, as team members can focus on fewer tasks at a time.

When the client needs to release the product earlier than planned to start receiving revenue, the best way to accommodate this request is by focusing on delivering a minimum viable product (MVP). The MVP allows the team to prioritize the most essential features that provide value to the customer, ensuring that the product can be launched quickly, while still addressing the core needs of the business.
By focusing on the MVP, the product can still be launched on time, and the client can start receiving revenue sooner without waiting for the full product to be completed. This aligns with agile principles of delivering valuable, incremental releases.

To identify the features that offer the maximum value, the product owner should focus on understanding the needs and priorities of the product's end users. By identifying the users and their key activities, the product owner can ensure that the features included in the roadmap directly address the most important user needs and deliver the highest value. This user-centric approach ensures that the product delivers tangible benefits to its intended audience and aligns with their requirements.

The correct answer is D - Confirm managers and stakeholders are invited to product review meetings. Agile promotes early and continuous feedback from stakeholders through regular reviews (e.g., sprint reviews or demos). Their active engagement ensures alignment with evolving business needs.
From the PMI Agile Practice Guide:
"Demonstrating working product increments at iteration reviews allows stakeholders to inspect progress, provide feedback, and align expectations. Agile teams rely on these sessions to validate whether the product meets business requirements." (PMI Agile Practice Guide, Section 4.2 - Stakeholder Engagement and 5.2 - Reviews) Mike Griffiths emphasizes:
"Frequent stakeholder reviews reduce risk by capturing early feedback. Stakeholder participation in iteration reviews ensures alignment and continuous validation of business goals." (Mike Griffiths, PMI-ACP Exam Prep, Chapter 3 - Value-Driven Delivery) Incorrect options:
* A includes only the team; stakeholders are critical to product validation.
* B is insufficient-product owner alignment alone doesn't ensure business alignment.
* C refers to documentation, not collaboration.
