What is one method for reducing queue length?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

Resizing the work is one method for reducing queue length in SAFe. Queue length is the number of work items waiting to be processed in a system. Reducing queue length can improve flow, reduce cycle time, and increase throughput. Resizing the work means breaking down large work items into smaller ones that can be completed faster and with less variability. Smaller work items also reduce the risk of rework, defects, and delays. Resizing the work can be done at any level of SAFe, from portfolio epics to team stories.SAFe provides several techniques for resizing the work, such as Weighted Shortest Job First (WSJF), Minimum Marketable Features (MMFs), Minimum Viable Products (MVPs), and Spikes1.Reference:Principle #6 - Visualize and Limit WIP, Reduce Batch Sizes, and Manage Queue Lengths - Scaled Agile Framework

Lengthening iteration timeboxes seems counterintuitive to me; I feel like that would actually increase queue length instead of reducing it.

I'm feeling pretty confident about this one. Reducing queue length is all about managing the flow of work, so I'd say the best approach is to resize the work as needed to keep the queue from getting too long.

Ah, I've seen this type of question before. I think the key is to focus on strategies that directly address the queue length, like resizing the work or lengthening iteration timeboxes. Those seem like the most straightforward approaches to me.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused by this question. I'm not sure if committing to a specific delivery date is the best way to reduce queue length. Maybe leaving capacity for new priorities would be a better option?
