What is one problem with phase-gate Milestones?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

Creating a buffer state between two states in a Kanban board can help regulate the flow of work and address the varying completion times.

Buffer State Purpose: Acts as a holding area to balance the flow between different stages of work, smoothing out variances in completion times.

Flow Regulation: Ensures that work can continue smoothly without bottlenecks or idle times.

Work In Progress (WIP) Limits: Helps maintain a steady flow by preventing too much work from accumulating in any one state.

This approach aligns with Lean principles of managing flow and reducing variability in processes.

Phase-gate milestones? More like phase-gate headaches! Option B is the way to go, unless you enjoy being straitjacketed by your own process.

You know, with all these phase-gate milestones, it's no wonder project managers feel like they're navigating a minefield. Option B is the way to go, for sure.

Haha, the Product Owner as a gatekeeper? That's like asking a cat to guard the canary! Option D is clearly the way to go.

But some may argue that they assume a point solution exists and can be built right the first time.

I disagree, I think Option A is the problem. Assuming a point solution can be built right the first time is just unrealistic in most cases.

Option B is definitely the issue here. Phase-gate milestones force design decisions way too late in the process, leaving little room for flexibility and adjustments.

I think one problem is that they force design decisions too late.
