Discuss Scrum PSK-I Exam Topic 4 Question 20

Which of the following are leading indicator metrics?

(choose the best two answers)

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 feel like Monte Carlo is more of a simulation tool than an indicator, so I’m stuck between Cycle Time and Work in Progress for the leading indicators.

I practiced a similar question last week, and I think Work Item Aging could be a leading indicator, but I’m not confident about the others.
