    PMP · Question 81 · Task 1: Execute project with the urgency required to deliver business value

    A project team is using Kanban to manage workflow, and the project manager notices that work items are consistently taking longer than expected to move through the 'Development' column. Analysis shows that developers are frequently switching between different types of tasks, causing context switching overhead. What should the project manager recommend?

    Answer options:

    A.

    Increase the work-in-progress (WIP) limit for the Development column to allow more parallel work

    B.

    Assign specific developers to specific types of tasks to reduce switching

    C.

    Implement task batching strategies to minimize context switching within the Development column

    D.

    Split the Development column into separate columns for different task types

    How to approach this question

    When context switching is causing delays, look for solutions that reduce switching overhead while maintaining workflow flexibility and team capability.

    Full Answer

    C.Implement task batching strategies to minimize context switching within the Development column✓ Correct
    C
    Context switching creates overhead that reduces productivity. Task batching strategies allow developers to focus on similar work types while maintaining the flexibility and flow benefits of Kanban.

    Common mistakes

    Increasing WIP limits (which worsens context switching), creating rigid specialization, or making structural changes that don't address the switching overhead.
