Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM) — Question 223

A project team is starting to work on a project based on a Kanban approach. In order to frame the capacity of the team's workflow at any moment, the project manager will need to restrict the maximum amount of activities to be performed.

Which element will the project manager handle?

Answer options

• A. Capacity limit
• B. Pull system
• C. Work in progress
• D. Virtual board

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as 'Work in progress' refers to the active tasks that are currently being worked on, which the project manager needs to limit. Options A and B refer to different aspects of Kanban, with A focusing on limiting capacity and B describing the system used to manage tasks. Option D, the virtual board, is a tool for visualizing tasks rather than a measure of capacity.
