A product development team works on a complex feature that requires a stable, cross-functional team and regular stakeholder feedback. Which framework is more appropriate for this context?

Scrum, because it provides a structured framework with defined roles and ceremonies for complex work

Kanban, because it provides fixed Sprints for stakeholder feedback

Kanban, because it requires a cross-functional team

Scrum, because it allows unlimited changes during a Sprint

A product team develops a mobile app with a fixed release date and a well-defined feature set for the next quarter. They need to provide stakeholders with a predictable delivery date and a clear scope commitment. However, they also want to incorporate feedback from beta users during development. Which approach best balances these needs?

Adopt Kanban to allow continuous delivery of features as they are completed.

Use Scrum with short sprints to deliver a fixed scope while incorporating feedback at each sprint review.

Use Scrum without sprint reviews to avoid scope changes from feedback.

Use Kanban with a strict WIP limit to ensure the team finishes features before starting new ones.

Which of the following is a key difference between Scrum and Kanban?

Scrum allows changes anytime, while Kanban locks scope during a Sprint

Scrum has no roles, while Kanban defines three roles

Scrum uses fixed-length iterations, while Kanban uses continuous flow

Scrum requires a Kanban board, while Kanban does not

Which of the following is a similarity between Scrum and Kanban?

Both emphasize continuous improvement

Both require a Product Owner role

A Kanban team wants to make their process more efficient by identifying bottlenecks. They have a board with columns for 'To Do', 'In Progress', 'Review', and 'Done'. They notice that items pile up in the 'Review' column. What should they do first?

Add more items to the 'Review' column to keep the team busy.

Ignore the bottleneck and focus on completing 'To Do' items.

Remove the 'Review' column to eliminate the bottleneck.

Set a WIP limit on the 'Review' column to expose the bottleneck.
