Design and Implement an Upstream Kanban Process
Tests your understanding of managing demand vs. capability. A great answer defines Upstream Kanban as a pre-commitment filter, outlines board stages and policies, and explains how vetting work improves downstream predictability.
This tests your ability to apply systems thinking to the discovery phase, managing demand before it hits developers. A strong answer defines Upstream Kanban as a system for filtering options before a commitment point, describes designing a visual board with stages and explicit policies for triage and refinement, and clearly links this upstream filtering to improved downstream predictability by preventing overburdening and ensuring work is well-understood. A red flag is failing to emphasize the active discarding of options.
