Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.

Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Add more team members to distribute the workload.
Why it's wrong here
Adding members often increases communication overhead, not flow.
- ✗
Conduct a daily stand-up meeting for longer durations.
Why it's wrong here
Longer meetings further reduce productive time.
- ✗
Increase the sprint duration to allow more time for tasks.
Why it's wrong here
Increasing sprint duration does not address the root cause of context switching.
- ✓
Implement strict Work In Progress (WIP) limits on the Kanban board.
Why this is correct
WIP limits directly address context switching by restricting the number of active items.
