What is an 'information radiator' in the context of agile stakeholder communication?
Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A highly visible display of key project information (sprint burndown, backlog status, team velocity) that communicates status without requiring formal reports

Explanation

Information radiators make project information passively visible — stakeholders can see current status by glancing at a board or screen without requiring meetings or formal reports. They support transparency and reduce communication overhead.

**Why not A:** An information radiator is specifically designed to be visible to all team members and stakeholders, not restricted to the project management team. Its purpose is broad transparency, making project status accessible to anyone who walks by or views the dashboard.

**Why not B:** A heater in the project team room is a literal interpretation with no connection to the agile concept. The term "radiator" refers to information radiating outward to passersby, making project status passively available without requiring active requests or formal reporting.

**Why not D:** A tool that automatically distributes status emails is push-based communication, while an information radiator is pull-based. Information radiators display information passively for anyone to view on their own terms, rather than pushing content into inboxes. This reduces communication overhead while maintaining transparency.
