The primary effect of limiting Work in Progress (WIP) is to create a pull system. A pull system ensures that new work is only started when there is capacity, meaning that work is 'pulled' into the system when the team has the availability to do so. This approach prevents overloading the team and helps maintain a steady and predictable flow of work, aligning with the Kanban practices within the Scrum framework

Ugh, these true/false questions can be tricky. I'll have to carefully consider the wording here. Is limiting WIP the primary effect, or just one of the effects? Not sure, better double-check my notes.
