An adaptive team wants to reduce the time stories spend 'In Progress' without completion. What Kanban principle MOST directly addresses this?
Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: Implement WIP limits to prevent team members from starting new items before finishing current ones

Explanation

WIP limits directly target the 'in progress but not done' problem. When In Progress is limited (e.g., 'only 3 items can be In Progress simultaneously'), team members must complete current work before pulling new work. This concentrates attention, reduces context switching, and surfaces where items are truly stuck. WIP limits improve throughput by optimizing completion rate, not start rate.
