Question 156
Brittany's IT project is going well. She meets with her team about once a week to review a board containing tickets that represent work items. There are columns that a card can fall under with the descriptions: "Backlog, In Progress, Testing, and Done." When developers are ready to start work, they pull a ticket into their workflow from the "Backlog" pipeline into the "In-Progress" pipeline. Once a developer has coded the ticket, a QA analyst pulls the ticket into the "Testing" column. After testing, the ticket is closed and goes into the "Done" column. What kind of project management approach does Brittany's project have?
- A Hybrid
- B Predictive
- C Scrum
- D Kanban
Reveal correct answer
Correct answer: D
Explanation
This is a clear example of a Kanban project. The workflow presented describes a Kanban board in which work items are pulled into various statuses by the people doing the work. Scrum projects can use a Kanban board for the sprint backlog, but the scrum methodology is different from the pure Kanban methodology described in this scenario. A hybrid approach uses a blend of predictive and agile – something this question does not necessarily address. Predictive projects have a fixed scope at the launch of the project, so this choice is incorrect.Discussion
