PMP · Question 81 · Task 1: Execute project with urgency

Answer options:

A.

Defects

B.

Inventory (Partially Done Work / Undeployed Value).

Motion

How to approach this question

Lean Wastes. Done but not used = Inventory.

Full Answer

B.Inventory (Partially Done Work / Undeployed Value).✓ Correct

Common mistakes

Thinking 'Done' means value is delivered.
