A widening band in a CFD signals accumulating work in that state—“In Review” is a bottleneck. The first step is to cap WIP at that column and swarm to finish items to “Done.” Analyze root causes: unclear review policies, insufficient reviewers, large batch sizes, or long feedback loops. Tightening the Definition of Done (e.g., pairing, peer reviews earlier) and automating checks can reduce review load. Option A increases WIP, worsening cycle time and context switching. Option C treats symptoms and risks burnout without fixing systemic flow issues. Option D (splitting after development) is an anti-pattern that hides work and undermines vertical slicing; instead split earlier so items are reviewable in smaller increments. CAPM’s agile content stresses managing flow by limiting WIP, making policies explicit, and inspecting/adapting with data. Track lead time and throughput before/after the change to validate improvement, and maintain stable quality by ensuring reviews verify acceptance criteria and the Definition of Done.
