Exam PMI-ACP topic 1 question 319 discussion

In Kanban, using a class of service helps teams prioritize work based on factors like urgency, business value, or risk. It provides a clear framework for deciding which tasks to handle first, ensuring that high-priority items are addressed appropriately. This method allows the team to focus on the tasks that provide the most value or have the highest urgency. Other options are less suitable for the specific issue of prioritization: A: In Kanban, there's typically no product owner, so involving one may not apply. Even if someone performs a similar role, using class of service is more effective for prioritization. B: Reviewing WIP limits controls how much work the team takes on at one time, but it doesn’t directly help with prioritization. D: Measuring lead time helps with tracking efficiency but does not directly help the team decide which tasks to prioritize.
