The food-safety inspection team cut permit wait time after a WIP-limit experiment. A director asks whether that counts as performance. What should the Scrum Master / Team Coach say?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
If wait time dropped after a WIP-limit experiment, that is not a lucky accident—it is evidence. The food-safety team ran a change and the queue moved. That is a real performance signal, not a side note.
Full Explanation
Improved flow after a deliberate experiment is legitimate performance evidence. Wait-time reduction after a WIP-limit change shows the food-safety team inspected and adapted. The Scrum Master / Team Coach treats that signal as valid rather than discarding it for story counts or predictive variance. Escalating the experiment as an ART audit finding misses the team-level learning.
