Correct Answer
A. Has a continuous inflow of work.Explanation
A characteristic of a Kanban team is having a continuous inflow of work. Kanban is a lean methodology that focuses on visualizing and managing work in progress. It emphasizes a "pull" approach, where work is pulled into the system based on the team's capacity and the availability of resources. This ensures a steady flow of work and prevents overloading the team. Holding a weekly standup meeting is not specifically a characteristic of a Kanban team, as it is a common practice in many agile methodologies. The statement about Aptean SE is unrelated to the characteristics of a Kanban team.Rate this question:

C. Teams which follow Scrum and work in sprintsExplanation
Teams which follow Scrum and work in sprints track their progress using a burndown chart. In Scrum, sprints are time-boxed iterations where teams work on a set of tasks to deliver a potentially shippable product increment. The burndown chart is a visual representation of the remaining work over time in a sprint. It helps the team to track their progress, identify any deviations from the planned work, and make necessary adjustments to meet the sprint goal. Therefore, teams that do not follow Scrum or work in sprints may not use a burndown chart to track their progress.Rate this question:
