Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

✗
Maintain traditional milestone reporting and force agile teams to estimate fixed release dates months in advance.
Why it's wrong here
Forcing fixed dates contradicts agile principles and distorts delivery reality.
✓
Adopt flow-based metrics such as cycle time, throughput, work-in-progress (WIP) limits, and value delivery cadence.
Why this is correct
Flow metrics align with continuous delivery models and provide accurate visibility into agile team performance.
✗
Stop reporting altogether because agile teams are self-organizing and require no governance.
Why it's wrong here
Governance and reporting are still necessary in agile organizations.
✗
Measure agile performance solely by counting the number of daily standup meetings attended.
Why it's wrong here
Meeting attendance measures presence, not value or productivity.
