Marrowfield Labs is developing a diagnostic tool in an adaptive environment. The project manager is using a Cumulative Flow Diagram (CFD) to monitor the work. The CFD shows that the 'Testing' band is steadily widening over the last four sprints, while the 'Done' band remains narrow. The Product Owner is under pressure to release the next increment.

What should the project manager do?

  1. Ask the Product Owner to relax the Definition of Done for this increment to move items into the 'Done' band.
  2. Identify the widening band as a bottleneck and facilitate a team discussion to implement a Work in Progress (WIP) limit.
  3. Assign more developers to the testing task to clear the accumulated work as quickly as possible. given the information provided
  4. Report the narrow 'Done' band as a schedule variance in the next status report to senior management.
