Answer: B

Explanation:

Organizations generally have more ideas than they have capacity to pursue.

When the organization tries to work on more ideas than it has capacity, they force teams to multi-task, which causes the teams to lose focus, and become less effective:

1) Each initiative takes longer to deliver because teams lose effectiveness when they switch contexts between different initiatives.

2) Delaying value realization or feedback on value delivered deprives the organization of information it needs to make course-correcting decisions

3) Delaying feedback causes organizations to waste time and money on things that later prove to be valueless once they get feedback.

Remember this includes running one experiment on the product at a time is the best way to understand how the results affect your desired outcomes.
