PMI Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP) — Question 10

Why should a project team reduce the work in progress?

Answer options

• A. It indicates poor project quality
• B. It represents team member's utilization
• C. It represents unrealized value
• D. It shows that the project is behind schedule

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Reducing work in progress helps to focus on completing tasks and delivering value more effectively, making option C the correct choice as it addresses unrealized value. Option A incorrectly associates work in progress with quality, while option B focuses on utilization rather than value, and option D misinterprets work in progress as an indication of scheduling issues.
