Question
The Agile release train workflow focuses on tasks which can be accomplished reliably and efficiently. Scrum and Kanban are two of the most popular Agile frameworks, but both have a specific use case based on the implementation requirements. In which two situations are Kanban the ideal framework to use? (Choose two.)
Options
- Aacquisition of automation tools
- Bcarrier lead times
- Cnetwork configuration design
- Dphysical hardware deployment
- Elogical topology deployment

Why each option
Kanban is best suited for continuous, flow-based operational work with unpredictable demand, while Scrum fits time-boxed development with defined deliverables.
Tool acquisition is an ongoing operational process with continuously incoming requests of varying size and priority that benefit from Kanban's pull-based workflow and WIP limits rather than fixed sprint cycles.
Carrier lead times involve external vendor SLAs and fixed provisioning windows that are better tracked within ART PI planning cycles rather than a continuous Kanban flow.
Network configuration design generates a continuous stream of design requests that vary in scope and urgency, making Kanban's visualization and flow management ideal for pulling work through stages as capacity allows.
Physical hardware deployment is a project-based activity with defined phases and inter-task dependencies that align better with Scrum's sprint-based iteration model.
Logical topology deployment is a planned initiative with clear deliverables, milestones, and dependencies, which fits Scrum's structured sprint planning model rather than Kanban's continuous flow.
