Which of these tools or techniques should be used to sequence work to deliver value quickly?

Disciplined Agile teaches that backlog items should be organized as Minimum Business Increments (MBIs)—the smallest chunk of work that delivers recognizable business value to stakeholders. Sequencing the backlog around MBIs enables the team to release the earliest, highest-value increments first, thereby accelerating feedback and ROI.

A. Planning Poker is an estimation technique; it does not govern sequencing.
C. Work-in-process (WIP) limits control flow and capacity, not order of delivery.
C. Minimum Viable Product (MVP) defines the first releasable product, not the ongoing sequencing of backlog items.
