Why each option

Kanban does not prescribe fixed meeting cadences; meetings and ceremonies occur on an as-needed basis driven by workflow needs.

AMonthly

Monthly meetings are too infrequent for an active Kanban team managing continuous work flow and are not a prescribed Kanban cadence.

BWhen requiredCorrect

Unlike Scrum, which mandates time-boxed ceremonies such as daily standups, sprint planning, and retrospectives, Kanban is a flow-based method where meetings - such as replenishment, flow review, or retrospective sessions - are held only when there is a need to address workflow issues or make decisions. Transitioning from Scrum to Kanban means moving away from fixed prescribed cadences to a more flexible, demand-driven meeting approach.

CWeekly

Weekly meetings impose a fixed schedule that is a Scrum-like cadence and is not consistent with Kanban's flow-based, as-needed meeting philosophy.

DDaily

Daily standups are a Scrum ceremony; Kanban does not mandate daily meetings, as the method focuses on continuous flow visualization and reducing unnecessary ceremony.
