  1. In lean project planning, what does a 'pull planning' session primarily accomplish?

    Answer: Engages the team to work backward from milestones to identify handoffs

    Pull planning engages the team to work backward from project milestones, identifying handoffs and commitments collaboratively.

  2. Which metric best measures whether a lean project is delivering value reliably over time?

    Answer: Percent Plan Complete (PPC)

    Percent Plan Complete (PPC) measures the reliability of weekly commitments, indicating whether the team delivers what it promises.

  3. A lean project team discovers a constraint that is slowing delivery. According to the Theory of Constraints, what should be the FIRST response?

    Answer: Identify and exploit the constraint before subordinating other processes to it

    The first step is to identify and then exploit the existing constraint by maximizing its throughput before taking any other action.

  4. What is the primary purpose of a project charter in lean project execution?

    Answer: To define scope, objectives, and authority so the team has a clear mandate

    A project charter formally defines scope, goals, stakeholders, and sponsor authority, giving the team a clear mandate to proceed.

  5. During project execution, a lean leader notices tasks are frequently moved from 'complete' back to 'in progress.' What does this most likely indicate?

    Answer: Definition of Done criteria are unclear or inconsistently applied

    Tasks cycling back to in-progress typically signal that the team lacks a shared, clear Definition of Done.

  6. In lean project management, 'obeya' (war room) is best described as:

    Answer: A shared physical or virtual space where visual project information is displayed for daily team coordination

    Obeya is a dedicated space displaying all critical project visuals, enabling transparent, real-time coordination by the entire team.

  7. When scoping a lean project, which technique helps prevent scope creep by explicitly listing what is NOT included?

    Answer: Out-of-scope statement in the project charter

    Explicitly documenting what is out of scope in the charter sets boundaries and provides a reference to deflect scope creep.
