The civic-broadband install team updates its board only at Friday status. What should the SM/TC want the board to become?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
A Friday-only board is a highlight reel, not the game. Pull happens when someone finishes a drop and takes the next install. Update it as the work moves, or it is just theater.
Full Explanation
A broadband install or similar Kanban board is the daily pull system the team uses to manage flow, not weekly status theater. A Friday-only board is a highlight reel, not the game. Pull happens when someone finishes a drop and takes the next install; the board must be live for that moment.
Using the board as a weekly status poster for the director fails because status theater is not a pull system. A monthly archive of completed installs fails because archives do not manage today's WIP. A slide exported every Friday in place of team sync fails because slides substitute reporting for flow conversation.
Exam caveat: visualization frequency must match pull frequency. Operational check: keep the install board updated continuously, run team sync against the live board, demote Friday slides to optional summaries, and verify people pull from visible ready work rather than from private lists. Live pull boards are how field install crews coordinate without waiting for Friday's slide to tell them what already happened.
