PK0-005 Tools and Documentation Practice Question
A project team is using Jira for agile project management. They want to visualize the flow of work across columns such as 'To Do', 'In Progress', and 'Done'. Which board type should they use?
⚠ Common exam trap
The trap is confusing board types with reporting tools — candidates may pick 'Burndown chart' or 'Gantt chart' because they sound like visualization tools, but the question asks for a Jira board type that displays workflow columns.
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Kanban board
A Kanban board in Jira is specifically designed to visualize continuous workflow across status columns such as 'To Do', 'In Progress', and 'Done', with work items moving left to right as they progress. It emphasizes flow, work-in-progress limits, and cycle time rather than time-boxed iterations. This directly matches the team's goal of visualizing work flow across columns.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Kanban board
Why this is correct
A Kanban board visualises workflow as columns representing stages such as 'To Do', 'In Progress', and 'Done', with cards moving between them. This matches the stem's requirement to visualise work flowing across those specific columns.
- ✗
Scrum board
Why it's wrong here
A Scrum board maps workflow columns but constrains work to sprint-scoped iterations with backlog commitment; the stem asks only to visualise flow across statuses, which a Kanban board delivers through continuous status-based columns without sprint boundaries.
- ✗
Gantt chart
Why it's wrong here
A Gantt chart displays tasks against a calendar timeline with dependencies, not cards flowing across status columns. It suits waterfall scheduling and milestone tracking, whereas the stem requires a board showing work items progressing through To Do, In Progress and Done.
- ✗
Burndown chart
Why it's wrong here
A burndown chart plots remaining work against time, not work items moving between status columns. It is the right choice for tracking sprint progress or release scope depletion, not for visualising workflow states such as To Do, In Progress and Done.
