Salesforce Certified Business Analyst — Question 25

The Salesforce development team is strictly following scrum to govern its releases. An executive trying to plan a vacation wants to know when work on the feature will begin so they can be available for additional implementation questions. After consulting with the product owner, the business analyst (BA) learns the team has decided to adopt Kanban instead for all future releases.
What should the BA tell the executive?

Answer options

• A. Work will begin after executive approval is given.
• B. Work will begin when capacity becomes available.
• C. Work will begin in the next sprint.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because in a Kanban system, work is initiated as soon as capacity allows, rather than being tied to fixed time frames like sprints in scrum. Option A is incorrect as executive approval is not a determining factor in Kanban. Option C is also wrong because Kanban does not operate on sprints, unlike scrum.
