PMI Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP) — Question 11

An agile project manager is planning the initial scope, schedule, and cost range estimates on a new project. The team will be using Kanban to control work.
What metrics should the team use to measure performance?

Answer options

• A. Lead time, throughput, and due date performance
• B. Work in progress limits, Kanban board, and time boxes
• C. Work item types, sprint cadences, and defect classes
• D. Burndown charts, scatter diagrams, and throughput

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because lead time, throughput, and due date performance are essential metrics in Kanban that reflect how efficiently work items move through the process. Options B, C, and D include elements that are not primarily focused on measuring performance in a Kanban context, as they pertain to different aspects of project management or methodologies.
