Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C, D

Work in Progress (WIP) and Work Item Aging are considered leading indicator metrics in Scrum with Kanban. Leading indicators are metrics that provide information that can help predict future outcomes or performance.

* Work in Progress (WIP): This metric indicates the number of work items currently being worked on and can provide early signals about potential bottlenecks or issues in the workflow. Managing WIP effectively can help teams optimize their flow and predict how work might proceed in the future.

* Work Item Aging: This metric shows how long work items have been in progress without being completed. It provides an early indication of delays and can help teams identify items that might need attention to maintain a steady flow

I remember discussing Service Level Expectation in class, but I’m confused if it’s a leading indicator or more of a lagging one.

I think leading indicators are metrics that predict future performance, so I’m leaning towards Work in Progress and Cycle Time, but I’m not entirely sure.
