medium · Project Management Professional adaptive

At Thornfield Labs, an adaptive team's Kanban board shows they have hit the Work in Progress (WIP) limit in the 'Verification' column. Two developers are blocked because they cannot pull new items from the 'Development' column.

What should the project manager do first?

  1. Escalate the bottleneck to the functional manager to request additional verification resources.
  2. Facilitate a session for the team to swarm on the Verification items to clear the bottleneck.
  3. Reassign the blocked developers to help the Product Owner with backlog refinement.
  4. Temporarily increase the WIP limit for the Verification column to maintain velocity.
