CAPM Flow, Task Boards, WIP, and Progress Visibility

This chapter makes agile tracking practical instead of jargon-heavy. CAPM usually tests whether you can interpret visible workflow, spot overload or queue buildup, and treat charts as signals for action rather than decorative status graphics.

The exam usually does not reward superficial statements such as “use a Kanban board” or “check the burndown.” It rewards whether you can decide what the signal means and what the team should do next. You need to know what a board should make visible, what widening queues imply, when WIP discipline matters, and why progress charts still need quality and scope context.

Use these sections in order. Start with task boards and basic Kanban-style visibility, then move into WIP limits and flow signals, and finish with burndown, burnup, velocity, and the limits of what those charts really prove. Together, they form CAPM’s practical view of adaptive control during execution.
