After choosing SAFe Scrum, the bridge-load-rating team still holds every story in a two-month analysis queue before it is called ready. A director says they picked the wrong method. What should the SM/TC emphasize?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
A two-month analysis pile is a traffic jam, not a brand-name problem. Scrum or Kanban, giant queues still stall flow. Shrink the pre-work batch instead of swapping the logo on the board.
Full Explanation
Selecting SAFe Scrum is necessary context, not a guarantee of flow. Oversized analysis queues lengthen wait time, hide WIP, and delay learning whether or not the team uses Scrum. Flow accelerators target queue length, batch size, and wait states rather than a method rebrand. Switching to Kanban, stretching the iteration, or hiding analysis off the ART leaves the same pre-work bottleneck in place.
